It's very possible that you've set a large font in Windows preferences.

What about inserting horizontal separators in between the blocks?

Maybe, maybe not. But it should not _only_ be designed for newbies. We 
shouldn't make everything clickable and newbie friendly.

I for my part acknowledge that a (new) user friendly design is a very good 
thing, but not at the cost of the proficient users. (I'm writing this not 
only for this particular issue of the match statistics, but in general.)
