I looked at the same yesterday and I agree with Noah. There's too much
vertical space there.
I think the problem of horizontal scrolling in mobile for the archives
(mentioned by Peter G) is so serious, that the archives are just not
usable in mobile at all. If the archives in mobile are unusable, why
try to cater with minor spacing tweaks? Adjusting vertical spacing to
help mobile is really a thing too minor -- it needs a major revamp
first, in particular to handle text flow, as Peter suggests. (I don't
know specifically about using the Gmail algorithm, whatever that is.)
