What I call wasted space is space that one cannot use.
It's not so much the font size but rather the spacing of the lines. Too much fighting for my attention. One of the fundamental understandings of typography is that as line length increases, line height needs to increase as well to maintain readability. Very small line spacing works for narrow columns of text, but in the screenshot you posted it's just way to difficult for me to focus.

Just how the key to making good music is a deep understanding of the space between notes, whitespace is critical in good typography.

Not to say that how you have it laid out doesn't work for you; rather reams of research would say that how you have it laid out wouldn't work for a majority of people.
