Er, Don said nothing about "leaving IP assignment to the client side". 
He just said that it's counterproductive to allocate in /etc/dhcpd.conf
more IPs to the dynamic range than is needed.

By the way, you didn't bother to exclude kernel sub-processes from that
"top" listing.  I actually find that "ps" is much more malleable for
getting meaningful output (especially for scripts):  E.g., with "top",
you can't seem to even specify field selection unless you're in its
default interactive mode.

Here are the ten largest processes at the moment on my system, going by
Resident Set Size = column one (where total process size is column two),
and filtering out kernel threads:
