There's hinting along the y-axis *only*!

Yes. I think this is unavoidable to a large extent given how the
autohinter works: It doesn't treat single points but segments and
edges, and this additional indirection is responsible for the rather
large size. I have at least one idea how I could slightly reduce the
amount of data, but it will always be larger than manual hinting.
