Compiling OpenLDAP with SLAPI support means that ACL caching is disabled. 
However, I'll note that ACL caching is broken in 2.3 for some types of 
ACLs, and compiling with SLAPI support is the only way to make those ACL's 
work correctly.  So even though I do not use SLAPI plugins, I compile with 
SLAPI enabled so that my ACL's work right.

Other than that, compiling with SLAPI support doesn't have an effect either 
way how OpenLDAP behaves.
