It doesn't seem to be static for me. (Consider using -d1 or -d0.5 if
you like it to update more frequently.)

In any case, you can get the old display back by pressing 't' several
times to cycle through the options for cpu stats (mnemonic: "task", I
guess) and the same with 'm' for memory info, and then W (for write) to
save the config when you like it.

You an also edit the ~/.toprc manually, but... it's a horrible format
not meant to be consumed by humans.
