It depends on my motivation for reading the book. If it's by an author I really like, I usually will slog on to the end, in the hopes that it gets better. Or if I've been told explicitly by people who rec that it's slow to pick up but worth it.
I also try to do the Man Booker longlist reading every year - I don't give up on those books, since I don't feel I can fairly judge a book I didn't finish. A couple of times the ending has been enough to make it worth it, but rarely.
Usually what happens though is I sort of put my books into a TBC pile that means I might try to pick them up again, someday, when i'm in a different mood.
