Hi Krzysztof,

> Nothing explains what is a slot and nothing explains why do you need this property.

I thought I had answered that question, but seems you don't agree with that explanation. 
Would the following description be any better?

The slot is the IP used to share the jpeg engine across multiple VMS and os, there are 4 slots available in the IP. We can use one slot in linux. The slot index indicates which slot we choose. If not specified, 0 is used by default.
