Good point. However, Sunfreeware has pkg formats of top, so he should be
able to install it.

If not, I would suggest disabling networking, installing top, then
starting networking back up again.

Another point to add is that top may not work right during the high
loads. The less time between updates, the more load Top takes, which may
make a bad problem even worse.
