It's not a problem.  The large number is the number of pageouts since
restart, the number in parentheses is the number of pageouts in the last
second.  If you see the number in parentheses is non-zero frequently, then
you're havinig paging.  In this case you should set up and edit a my.cnf
file to tune the memory parameters of mysqld so it doesn't page.

The details of top can be found by typing 'man top' in the terminal window.
