I'm curious how you are measuring that, and that is not my subjective impression. The new bar doesn't match the color scheme, sticks out like a sore thumb, and floats, which I loathe.The bar takes up about 10% of the footprint of the previous header area, which took up the entire screen on smaller screens.
For anyone else who cares, you can use AdBlock's "Element Hiding Rules" to stop the floating bar at the top. Use the filter: enworld.org###multix You can then check your notifications by visiting your personal profile page.
My only problem now is that I used to disable AdBlock on ENWorld so that the site still got my advertising views/clicks. Turning the element hider on also turns on the ad blocking. I'll have to do some more testing later to see if there's a way to hide elements but allow ads through.

The previous header scrolled away when I was in a thread, so it effectively took up 0 pixels except at the beginning of the page. The current one is always there, and it takes as much room as my Firefox url bar and links bar combined.
But enough, I can make it go away, and will.

@-moz-document domain('enworld.org'){
#multix{
display: none !important;
}
}
@-moz-document domain('enworld.org'){
#multix{
opacity: 0.0;
}
#multix:hover {
opacity: 1.0;
-moz-transition-delay: 2s;
}
}
That's a different question entirely.
