Not sure whether this still has any relevance, but...
Even though I love the idea of the wiggle in these sliders, they do indeed interfere with the flow and speed the sliders naturally have. However, this would be much less of a problem if the wiggle was clearly visible. Also, if you changed the direction of the slider after the wiggle, creating a spike or corner, you call it, the effect of the slider being slowed down would be less harsh. This is why a slider like 01:27:057 (3) - works much better than a slider like 01:14:749 (3) - . using the overlap as an indicator is a nice idea, but it counters any logic that has been developed during the evolution of mapping. I don't know whether this is a bad thing, but it does what it does.
Good luck!
ps: oh well, most of this has been stated already.
