Hi David,

Yes this is a problem I already identified. We've worked on it as well
already. As a first step we improved the loading time of large items. As
the next step we have moved identifiers into their own section. This
already helped a lot by removing identifiers from the rest of the
statements where they were mostly clutter. We have also made a few small UI
tweaks to improve the spacing. The next step is going to be ordering of
statements. For that we have to do some groundwork and then community
input. I hope we can start with that in the next 2 months.
To summarize: Being worked on but it is an on-going task that will be with
Wikidata for a long time as it grows.


Cheers
Lydia
