In my alleged mind, michaelo, slow up kind of carries the implication that a halt may be impending, as in,
"Slow up, I think we're getting near that antique store I wanted to go into".
Slow down, to me, doesn't necessarily carry that. As in,
"Slow down, you're driving way too fast."
But these are not set in concrete, typical for English I suppose.
