I understand that the intention of slice weave was to introduce a slight lag on the target after you slice their weaves. The purpose of this testing was to find out how long that lag was. In our test there was absolutely no increase in time from how long it took to start a weave.
To explain our results i wish to first stress that there is ALWAYS inherent lag, when you send the command for ANY weave its not going to go through until the next pulse (roughly .25 seconds) even with a perfect link, which is why you can pre-emptively start weaving your next weave right before your last one finishes, and start a weave the same pulse as one of your weave finishes.
From searching my timestamped logs i found i average just over half a second lag normally between when i send the command and when the weave starts rolling. Out of the 30 weaves that looked at all fell between .3 seconds and .7 seconds for a normal weave with the majority around .55 seconds.
During the test we have multiple examples where i sent the command and it started rolling a weave, both immediately after getting hit with the slice weave and one of them (bolded and underlined) is even less than half a second of getting hit by the slice weave (shorter than my average lag)
