I don't find top very helpful. Often if I run a big process, and then kill
it, not all the memory is recovered according to top. But it still seems to
be available for the next process that wants it. Maybe it's something to do
with the way the memory manager works, I don't know.
Try running your cron job three or four times, one after the other. If you
run out of memory when doing this, then there is a real problem. Otherwise,
I wouldn't worry.
