Well, it makes really no difference, if I call top with -u or not.

I tried RANDOM_PW and I tried a bigger TOP_TABLE_SIZE, gives me no 
difference. It really seems to be the case, that the machine reads a lot 
of stuff from the slapd, when top starts you top and slapd being busy 
(both are going back to nearly 0 very soon).

Well; what information is needed from LDAP, if I call top -u ? It makes 
no username mapping. "ps -aux" is by far faster, so I guess it's reading 
all the information and building it's table, althoug it's later not 
really used?
