Agree here.  There seems to be much space wasted by rather 'thick' 
toolbars.  The icon size seems OK to me but there is just so much 
'padding' around the icons that the toolbars are inevitably thick.

I like the zoom how it is.  Perhaps if it would be good thing that if 
you were to click the magnifying glass and not the + or - then a combo 
box could come up.

The speed of Nautilus is amazing considering what it was for Gnome 1.4. 
I personally think we now need to increase its 
versatility/usability/utility/function.
