if the slide show is a really big file with 40000 or 100000 photos
if they are large images 10 mill pixels
and if the external drive is a USB2 maybe.

So far so good i have not noticed any slow down in performance on simple things like minecraft and light-medium video editing

I can't see how it would slow down. Looks like a good setup.

You might want to load iStat menus if you can fork out the few dollars. It will give you a complete run down on CPU usage etc so you will know specifically if your setup is being stressed at all.
