FTFM :P

Here from 'man top'

 Summary_Area_defaults
              'l' - Load Avg/Uptime  On  (thus program name)
              't' - Task/Cpu states  On  (1+1 lines, see '1')
              'm' - Mem/Swap usage   On  (2 lines worth)
              '1' - Single Cpu       On  (thus 1 line if smp)


you need to hit '1' when in top to display it.  Then there is another command
you can use to save top's settings.  I'll leave that as an excercise in manual
reading for you ;)
