It may also help to run top with screen as perhaps a first command then
open up additional screens to perform other work and have the first
screen with top running on it backgrounded while this is going on.

I'm sure others have good answers, but I haven't found a good solution. You
can park the Speakup cursor and you can change the frequency output is
updated, like every 20 seconds. You can use the review keys to read the
column headers. I think there is a way to get more verbose output without
the columns, but you'd have to read the man page.
2. The output keeps changing. For example, while I???m reading one line,
its CPU usage might drop and cause it to be reordered in the list.
Try this very helpful command:
top -n1 | head
