slopsucker: /slop'suhk-r/ n. A lowest-priority task that waits
around until everything else has `had its fill' of machine
resources. Only when the machine would otherwise be idle is the
task allowed to `suck up the slop'. Also called a `hungry puppy' or
`bottom feeder'. One common variety of slopsucker hunts for large
prime numbers. Compare background.
