I changed to 1 full lot. The brutal switch from 0.1 to 1 full lot made me suddenly much more nervous. Suddenly I was losing again, I had to adapt. After some 10 trades I calmed down and got my mojo back. I did not encountered more slippage (that I am aware off). I noticed that other factors are much more influential:
1) My nerves
2) The deal-station or "manual execution delay" Oanda has by far the fastest (and almost glitch free) execution available and I have never ever in more than 100 trades had any re-quote. My friend trades with Deutche Bank Forex. He is like driving a bicycle WITH A FLAT TIRE, compared to me driving a Ferrari.
I am intended to switch to 10 lots. When I do I will inform you again.
@pipal: If you use limit orders you get almost instant fills. If you use market orders you don't get the price you see but of course the price on the server. As the client always lags a little bit behind the server there might be some deviation - sometimes in your favor, sometime not! To be honest Oanda doesn't want to rip me off, I often get better prices than I see!

Xaron,
It seems that you're trading for a long time with Oanda; what is your over all experience with them? I have noticed that some people complain that they trade against their clients. I that true??
