What does "slowing the aging process" mean?

If I were to get cryosuspended one day a week, or to travel at a
relativist speed, indeed my aging process would be "slowed" for
outsiders, but the real point would be to live *more*, not just *at a
slower pace*, would it not?

Now, the suspect exists that even if some life-extending effects were
actually produced by CR, you would simply be trading duration of life
against intensity...

Would it really be such a big deal?
