I slack off way more when I am in the office because I view it as killing time till I leave. I browse reddit, hacker news, techmeme, sometimes I even just pull up an eBook and read.
When I'm at home I will sit in front of my computer for less time and it will appear that I am slacking off a lot more if someone were watching me, but my time in front of the computer is way more productive because I don't have to pretend to be busy for 8 hours but rather just have to do 4 really productive hours of work.
I rarely work from home though, so I'm sure my work habits might be different if I were working from home for an extended period of time.
edit: while it may not seem like it, I feel like I need these breaks in the office to "slack". I can't stay focused for 8 hours every day, but I do have to be in the office for 8 hours straight so... that's what the company gets.
