Here's another possible fix for the worst-case scenario:

#define MAX_SLICE_DELTA (64*1024)
if ( ((size_of_slice + MAX_SLICE_DELTA) > size_of_original) 
    || (size_of_slice > (size_of_original / 2))  )
    use_lazy_slice();
else
    create_string_as_normal();

You'd still get the full benefit of lazy slices most of the time, but it takes the edge off the really pathological cases.

How's that?
