I seriously doubt that piping it through slip is going to help. You still get to deal with slip + tcp protocol stack. I would expect gbit ethernet with possibly some fifo/buffering setting adjusted gets you better performance that RS232 (with or without slip). Just assemble some raw frames on the source side and go.
The danger of Ethernet is that it has high capacity and a interconnect friendly interface. Thus, you might feel inclined to toss data over it carlessly causing packet delays and you can hook it into a switch and get delays and packet losses there.
If you where using it like an RS-232 only, i.e. bidirectional between two devices, and make sure you think about traffic congestion and packet timing, then you can get higher performance and better timing using Ethernet.
Don't blame Ethernet, blame the sloppy use. Ethernet never was CDMA, it was CMDA/CD which is quite different.
