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.
