hog
1. Favoured term to describe programs or hardware that seem to eat far more than their share of a s Ystem' s resources, especiall Y those which noticeabl Y degrade interactive response. *Not* used of programs that are simpl Y extremel Y large or complex or that are merel Y painfull Y slow themselves (see pig, run like a). More often than not encountered in qualified forms, e.g. "memor Y hog", "core hog", "hog the processor", "hog the disk". "A controller that never gives up the I/O bus gets killed after the bus-hog timer expires." 2. Also said of *people* who use more than their fair share of resources (particularl Y disk, where it seems that 10% of the people use 90% of the disk, no matter how big the disk is or how man Y people use it). Of course, once disk hogs fill up one file s Ystem, the Y t Ypicall Y find some other new one to infect, claiming to the s Yschef that the Y have an important new project to complete.
