You'd be suprised. I measure SLIP's effeciency (in throughput) to be about 5-15% more effecient than PPP in older versions of FreeBSD (both using kernel versions, slip and ppp). Since both were using static configurations on both ends and the only traffic was TCP/IP, there was no reason to use PPP over SLIP so we opted for using the more effecient protocol. I can imagine this is SLIP is still more effecient than PPP in terms of CPU, although I haven't measured it in years.
