On the 30 year ZB over the last 10 days I have completed 31 RTs with 6 ticks slippage. I keep track of meaningless things like that.

That is a cost of $18.75 per day. Last Thursday and Friday I didn't feel like trading after making stupid mistakes, wanted to sleep most of the day, and lost out on a multitude of multiples of what slippage costs me.
