You may want to play around with http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetKeyframedMotion , some basic example that would produce the effect you're looking for:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetAlpha(0, ALL_SIDES); // Makes prim invisible
        llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [
            PRIM_TEXT, "Meow", <1, 1, 1>, 1, // Set text contents, color and alpha here
            PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_TYPE, PRIM_PHYSICS_SHAPE_CONVEX,
            PRIM_PHANTOM, TRUE,
            PRIM_PHYSICS, FALSE
        ]);
        llSleep(2); // Small delay just to make sure that physical shape was applied
        llSetKeyframedMotion(
            [<0.0, 0.0, 0.5>, 5, <0.0, 0.0, -0.5>, 5],
            [KFM_DATA, KFM_TRANSLATION, KFM_MODE, KFM_PING_PONG]
        );
        llSetMemoryLimit(llGetUsedMemory() + 1024);
    }
}

Slow movements can be achieved by using llSetPos() with the proviso that there will be a momentary delay between each change in position. 

 

timer()
{
	vector myPos = llGetPos();
	myPos += <0.0, 0.0, -0.02>;	// alternate the sign to change direction of vertical movement
      llSetPos(myPos);
}
