I must admit, I'm on 1920x1200 and my screen is probably gigantic by comparison but that bar does take up A LOT of space.

I try to remove as many toolbars and such as possible from my browser and go with only the basic things I need and that's still 205 pixels of vertical resolution being used that isn't actually displaying content, not counting the taskbar.
The header alone is bigger than my toolbars combined.

People with smaller monitors (laptops in particular, especially 1366x768) and people with more menu bars and such in their browser will only have it that much worse.
