This is not a teTeX problem. Probably, you are using the `article'
documentclass (but you haven't said) ... and, if so, I agree with you, in
that I generally find the amount of whitespace unacceptable. I generally
start my documents with something like:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{anysize}
\marginsize{2cm}{2cm}{2cm}{2cm}
i.e. I use the `anysize' package to configure my margins just the way I
like them. I like this one because it's simple and does basically what
I want, but the `geometry' package provides somewhat more.
I suggest you try reading the documentation of these packages via texdoc
i.e. try:
texdoc geometry
and
texdoc anysize
