It's sort of a failsafe thing. If you use up all the memory on your phone. And turn it on and off again. If it wasn't for this file the phone might not have enough memory to boot. And to fix this the os can delete the slopfile and it has 256KB memory to use for boot. So you won't have to take it to the nearest service centre...
It's a nice thing to have don't you think?

It doesn't contain anyhing usefull I think. It's just meant to take up space...
