When the slides contain a lot of text, it is not possible for me to simultaneously read and comprehend the slide and understand what the speaker is saying. The slide appears, I start reading. You start talking, so I have to decide where my attention goes. Often it is neither the slides nor the speaker, just a jumble of words coming at me. Then the next slide comes up...

I feel like the solution to this is to have slides without a lot of text on them, but then include what you say in the "speaker notes" section when you distribute them so that people who didn't attend the talk understand them.
