As much fun the Poseidon Tremble speed glitch is, it's totally uncontrollable and impractical to use in RTA. Fortunately, here's a new slide-related tactic that gives you a large speed boost while remaining much more controllable.
If you do the Shield o1 into a slide, Kratos will fly in air for a moment at an elevated speed. It seems that being in the range of the slide converts Kratos' speed from his current attack into actual air velocity, which is quite uncommon and doesn't really happen anywhere else that I know of. At any rate, this means that doing high-speed attacks into the slide lets you start the slide sequence in air while also carrying some extraneous momentum the slide doesn't know how to handle.
Besides Shield o1, a Hyperion Ram and a roll also give this effect, although it's not nearly as powerful. Having some LAM also converts into some glitchy velocity when entering a slide, which explains the Poseidon Tremble speed glitch and its variations.
You can double jump during your short flight and follow it up with air attacks to keep flying through the air with elevated speed. In the case of consecutive Shield Jump, your speed is simply so absurdly high that you are able to "hover" over the slide for a while, or even go off-rails and go flying out of bounds wherever you please.
In fact, to avoid some death collision inside the tunnel, it's advisable to escape it as soon as possible by doing the first Shield Jump to the right. From there, do a floaty consecutive Shield Jump to reach the later parts of the slide without actually having to slide there. To achieve maximum floatiness, press X and O simultaneously during the double jump and then tap circle as fast as possible during the flight.
Loading trigger for the next area is on the part of the slide before the final grapple point. If you miss it, nothing is loaded when Kratos drops down into the chute, resulting in a game over.
Doing this tactic might save as much as 20 seconds, and it should work in basically every category. I'll have to look into the other slide sections too, if they could be optimized using this trick.
