There is no limit for sliders/slides/layers you can use, but your web server configuration could prevent creating more content after a point. In any case, using multiple sliders and slides shouldn't slow down your site at all.
If you're interested, LayerSlider also offers multiple options (Advanced tab) that you can utilize to increase performance. The conditional script loading option will only load the scripts when they are needed. The include scripts in the footer option helps with eliminating the render-blocking scripts. The slider markup caching option spares server resources and lowers database connections. Please also note that the caching is not present for logged in admins, so you might not see the difference on the back-end. There is also the Optimize for mobile option in the Slider Settings -> Mobile tab (hidden by default).
I have a follow up question. Is there an option wherein the slides will appear right away when i load my page? Looks like i have to click the site or scroll down just so my slide will appear. This is just one slide. Images are small sizes and there are no videos.
Is there a limit as to how many slides I can upload? Can adding 5 to 6 slides slow down my website?

You have probably enabled the Start only in viewport option, that is why the slideshow won't start immediately.
