Please see message #44 in the following closed debian bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627257

The memory leak you've experienced was eliminated with the advent
procps-ng release 3.3.0.

Trusty 14.04 is now using procps-ng release 3.3.9.

Regards.

Title:
  top appears to leak memory

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: procps

  I always have a top screen open, and after a while the memory usage
  reported by top for itself grows larger and larger. It is now almost
  as large as GIMP and larger than Firefox. See attached screenshot.
