The 400kB number I mentioned was only for the named links. I measured
the size of the /Dests name tree.
Outlines don't take much space, they are only 75kB for this file.
But I indeed forgot about the link annotations. A single link takes
about 125 bytes, and there are easily 5 per page on average (much more
on the table of contents pages). That easily accounts for the missing
space.
