I have slush configured as failback pool and I keep getting tiny amounts of BTC from slush.

Not to crap on your post....or configuration for that matter...but, WHY IN HELL would you set a score-based (or any NON-PPS/Time Based/Share Expiring) Pool as your Backup/Failover Pool ?

Wouldn't it make far more sense to use a pure PPS Pool as your Failover/Backup Pool ? .....a pool that doesn't care when you connect, or for how long, or for how little.....still giving you FULL value for every share submitted ?

I got to agree.  Although SMPPS if fine for backup too.  I use Arsbitcoin for all my rigs as backup.  Worst case scenario the buffer goes negative and you need to wait a little longer.   IMHO that is better than the high fees of PPS.
