DP Slow Motion is part of the Motion Perfect software. It is generally much better than the standard Slow Motion which tends to be kind of jerky.

Slow Motion just doubles up frames to create the slow motion so starts primitive and just gets more jerky the higher the setting.

DP Slow Motion is Motion Perfect that uses interpolation to create frames in between the normal ones to create the slow motion effect.

Depending on the actual contents this can work incredibly well with hi fidelity results and extremely smooth action or can add strange morphing effects.

Also, due to the nature of having to create the additional frames rather than just replicate additional identical frames DP Slow Motion takes way more rendering time, but usually with results worth the time.
