top is meaningless. Do not use it to try to detect memory leaks of
this scale. It only measures memory allocated from the kernel to the
process, not memory allocated to the process by the C library.
Libraries are caching memory, etc. - top tells you nothing about your
code correctness.

Use "memprof" or the like.
