The notes currently state: However, sliding has no maximum duration, it just stops when you go too slow. To prove this: There's a glitchy area in your ship where you can slide against a wall and it'll never stop because the game thinks you're going downhill so you retain your sliding velocity.
 * Slide may possibly refer to the slide's maximum duration, while Friction may refer to its deceleration over time.[citation needed]

So it's more likely that the +slide just increases the speed with which you start sliding.
