Well, obviously you have something in the code that NN6 handles 
differently in quirks mode than it does in standards mode. Without 
seeing the page or the code, it's hard to say anything beyond that. 
Except that if the extra space is at the bottom of table cells that
have 
images in them, try specifying align="middle" or align="top" for those

since otherwise NN6 leaves a bit of space for text descenders. But that

wouldn't be "large amounts of space", only a few pixels.
