IMHO the reduced vertical area of the wing when it's tilted also has
a considerable effect. Less lateral area (covered fuselage) would make
her travel sideways faster, and down faster. As they say, just my 2c worth

The purpose of a slip is to get you down at a steeper _angle_, not
_faster_. Increasing the wing loading increases airspeed and sink rate,
but not glide angle.

Dana,
Don't forget the reduced effective wing area in a slip, along with
partial wing 'blanking' during the maneuver. Both work to hasten the
descent. Lump in the inaccurate airspeed indication, and it becomes
challenging in a hurry.
