top (from procps-3.1.14 at least) only reads
the /proc/*/statm files when you activate
columns that need the statm data. Those are:
%MEM Memory usage (RES)
VIRT Virtual Image (kb)
SWAP Swapped size (kb)
RES Resident size (kb)
CODE Code size (kb)
DATA Data+Stack size (kb)
SHR Shared Mem size (kb)
nDRT Dirty Pages count
By default, some of those get displayed.
The default includes: VIRT RES SHR %MEM
To get rid of those, type this:
f o q t n enter W
(the "W" writes out a config file)
In case your top is too old for this, you
can go to http://procps.sf.net/ for a new one.
