Right now I'm currently in snapshot 14w21b and I'm working to built a slime farm. I played last night and made a huge slime farm in a slime chunk using the chunkfinder.com app, and I gave it Nearly TEN LAYERS and not one spawned! I do have around 20 cows in my world but I have lit up alot of the caves though. I'm working towards lighting more caves but does that app even work? I had to reload my world and am doing it in a chunk where I've lit up more caves so I hope it works… Those suckers are the most important creatures in the game… At least what they drop.
Is there a mob cap in minecraft?

Slimes and cows are different types of mobs, so it wouldn't be affected by each other. You're just unlucky at the moment. Slimes are a hostile mob, while cows are a passive mob, so mob caps for each are different. I made a mine once, saw a single slime mob once and never saw it again. Mad another mine, found billions of slimes. You may need to make it in another area.

There's not really a cap, just a limit to what your computer can handle. You're just being unlucky, slimes are a pain like that.
