Visual formatting (example) can make this a lot easier.
There's also the idea of identicons to create a unique graphic for a quick visual check (just has the chicken-end-egg problem since it requires both places that show the address to also show the visual).
i love the identicon idea
unlikely to be adopted though :/

They're cool but I'm not sure about the security. Looks like 2^25 possible icons. Would make a great quick second level check though.

Color is also a variable. Lots of variations on this idea, too, that might be better for security and legibility.
Totally agree that it's more of a quick gut-check. In most cases, it would just take a split second to compare two of these.

that visual formatting helps a TON. Both grouping AND alternating colors.
