George,
 
My WAG about why the notch on the slide is that the air spilling over a flat edge probably has a lot turbulence, the notch may tend to reduce it.  Also the notch naturally affects the area of the opening as the slide moves across the bore.  It adds more open area early on as the slide opens, this may made the area opening "more" linear than a flat edge opening.  But, as I said just WAGS
