I OFTEN move my 1st and 4th valve slides about that much, and DO notice an appreciable difference. I guess it just depends on the player.

Just check out a really great trombone player sometime. I know plenty that move their slides by tiny, tiny increments, and manage to play VERY in tune; conversely, there are also some that do the same thing, and play with a saggy, dead sound that sounds out of tune.
