>From the man page:

     -U user
             Show only those processes owned by user.  This option currently
             only accepts usernames and will not understand UID numbers.

     -u      Do not take the time to map UID numbers to usernames.  Normally,
             top will read as much of the password database as is necessary to
             map all the user ID numbers it encounters into login names.  This
             option disables all that, while possibly decreasing execution
             time.  The UID numbers are displayed instead of the names.

Counter-intuitive but the same as free/netbsd.
