The mechanical work done in holding a brick 1 meter above the floor is zero, as work is defined as the force applied over a distance. While you exert an upward force equal to the weight of the brick to keep it suspended, there is no displacement in the direction of the force since you are not moving the brick. Thus, even though you are applying force, the lack of movement means no mechanical work is done.

What happens to the potential energy that an object loses if it is lowered so slowly to the floor that it gains almost no kinetic energy?

OK. You're holding a brick, and you're lowering it very slowly and gently to the floor. Because of gravitational forces acting on the brick, it wants to accelerate downward at 9.8 m/s-sq, but you're not letting it fall. In order to do that, you have to exert an upward force on the brick, and you have to maintain that upward force on it as it settles all the way down. You're exerting a force that points up, through a distance that points down. Your muscles do negative work, meaning that they absorb mechanical energy. That's the potential energy that the brick gives up on its way down. (You almost had me there. It's a great question, and I had to think about it. That was an uncomfortable feeling.)

Holding a 25-N bag of sugar 1 meter above the floor requires 25 joules of work?

The work done is calculated as force (25 N) x distance (1 meter) = 25 joules. This is because work done is given by the formula W = F*d. Holding the bag above the floor does not involve any further energy expenditure as long as the bag is stationary.
