Different OS's.  This is FreeBSD:

I'm not sure what POSIX says about top (to lazy to look) so I'm
not sure if there is a "correctness" thing here, probably just
different tastes.  I think I like mine better.  :P  Above, I
killed it too fast for the stats to be gathered.  :)

The Linux version of top might be able to change that output
depending on available flags.  Again, too lazy to look right
now, a bit tired.  :)

Good luck with the optimizations,
