Ok if your running the slider with the mod above it conflicts with then change this:

template: cmsfcs_script

remove :

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js" ></script> 


and place the code you removed at the bottom of template: vbcms_widget_cmsfcs_page

Will it make any difference to page load times if the thumbs in the slider are actually thumbs and not just full size pics, squeezed into less pixels? i.e. they look like 60x40, but are actually 600x400 (numbers just for example).

not really because those thumbs pictures are slider images also. So even if you remove thumbs it won't make a much difference in page load time. Browser loads image one time only and uses cache for subsequent request.

Edit "cmsfcs_contentbit" template

Remove this code from template:

<p>{vb:raw getarticles.preview}</p>

I removed it but it made no difference.
