You can reduce the amount of spacing between lines in lists by adjusting \parskip . The default at normal size is something like \parskip=30pt plus 18pt minus 9pt . The small amount of shrink prohibits \parskip from ever getting smaller than 21pt. When I need to squeeze, I set \parskip=10pt plus 30pt minus 10pt , or something like that. I have often wondered why \parskip did not have a larger shrink component and why interlinepenalty isn't set to infinity, since splitting slides across pages is almost always undesirable.
