Did you install any packages about then that might use ntop as a daemon or
inlude and ntop update?
Or maybe ntop has been running for a long time, but some recent change is
not causing it to eat more resources. One such change would be putting
your ethernet connection in promiscuous mode for a VM or something.

That's the better way to remove the start/stop scripts.

So it looks like there's something generally causing ntop to use a lot of
resources. I believe there was a recent update for ntop with a bunch of
new features. Not sure that would already be in the repos, though.
