Exactly. His advantages aren't huge ones. Both of them can lift a couple tons. Spiderman is stronger, but not really by a lot. 2, 3 times at the most. (by comparison, he is 25x stronger than Daredevil or Wolverine...) He's faster, but again, not by all that much. While hitting just going and punching Flash would be PIS, Slade always tricks Wally and hits him while Flash is trying to do something else. The heart of the matter is, Slade is FAST. Not Flash fast, but fast enough to at least register that he's fighting Flash before Flash beats him up. I think him beating Impulse isn't so far fetched, when you see it happen. Impulse hits him a bunch of times, Slade predicts a shot and grabs his leg. It wasn't like he backflipped over Impulse and ninja death touched him before Bart could react... He was just fast enough to register his movements and implement his fighting skills. Spidey probably still edges him, but not by a lot.
Now, you look at Slade's advantages. Intelligence. Slade is a master tactician. Spiderman specializes in science... Fighting skills. Slade is up there with the elite of DC. He's at least Batman level, if not a good deal higher. Spiderman has a lot of trouble with good fighters who are HUMAN physically. Deathstroke is far from human. Slade's weaponry far outclasses Spiderman's. Exploding bullets, meta grenades, Promethium nets, promethium staff/sword... And he knows how to use them. Spiderman has trouble with people skilled in the use of fists. the fact that Slade uses a sword makes him that much more deadly.
All in all, I think Spiderman's rather slim physical advantages get surpassed by Deathstroke's mind and skills, both being things that give Spiderman a lot of trouble.
