I tend to put my narrative / talking-points / take-aways in the Notes section so that I can print them out together with the slides themselves and leave them behind for the audience after the talk. That way - I'm not reading the slides to the audience - and am able to create context for later readers without cluttering the slides with too much verbiage. Most of my meaty slides have to do with process, charts of various data sets and maybe high level technical architectural concept-ware. Much of the narrative is often about context, relevance and impact: "so what?".
