I would advise not to set manually any dimension unless you know exactly what you're doing. For instance, setting \topskip to 0pt is seldom a good idea. (You will butcher the consistency of spacing - more precisely, the top margin will be "wobbly" then - for no gain in "less spacing".) For manipulating page-related dimensions, the "canonical" way nowadays is to use the geometry package. Also, negative \topsep looks strange, though I'm not knowledgable enough about LaTeX inner workings to understand everything you do here. > In fact, the spacing's a little too tight now.

You might ask on TeX.SE, or just start with deleting evry setting you are not sure what it does and see what happens.
