Here - I thought I'd taken a picture. LM358 is the slow looking trace.  5V per div, 20us X scale.

Simple calculations give us exactly 0.4v/us to achieve this slew rate. Maybe this parameter is often overrated or requires some special conditions like +-18v power or some specific input impedance range?
