I'm not aware of any such benchmarks or comparisons, but it would definitely be interesting to see some! Also, as far as I remember, GSlice is pretty much a straight-up implementation of Bonwick's slab allocator plus the subsequent changes for using magazines for threading/multicore performance. I don't think GSlice has been updated with all the work that has been done in e.g. the Linux kernel for slab-like allocators. (Also, GSlice doesn't really use all the features of the original slab/magazine allocator - for example, blocks of memory are not recycled by resetting them to a "just initialized" state; instead, blocks are freed and re-allocated / re-initialized as needed.)
