Slider thumb lags a lot

I've been working on a slider in S2 and cannot get the thumb to respond properly. It lags terribly when I publish my product. I've changed the design of the slider several times, changed the way the slider works from layers to states, and I cannot figure it out. I even deleted the slider and built a new one. I asked a coworker to look at it and she couldn't figure it out either. What am I missing? Please help.

The scale of the slider is rather coarse, with 5 steps and a step width of 1. Maybe you could try reducing the Step value, which makes for a smoother movement of the thumb. See attached a quick example.
Ok, I see! Reducing the step value is the key. Thank you Michael, you are my hero!
You could also add MORE steps, but then you have to rejig your triggers to display a layer when slide value is, let's say 10 (instead of 1), 20 (instead of 2), etc.
I did try adjusting the steps more, down to 0.05 and 0.01 and it got wacky again, and I'm out of time. What you provided is perfect, thank you! I learned a whole lot more about sliders, and showed my coworkers as well.
Happy thanksgiving all!
So glad Michael was able to assist you here! And a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Joanne!
