Disabling IPv6 in ESP-IDF can save about 40KiB of flash and 2KiB of RAM. Not enough that I'd do it by default, but I've hit the limit of some of my hobbyist ESP32s to the point where I've disabled modules to cram my code in there.

Disabling IPv4 saves 25KiB of flash and less than a KiB of RAM. If you're down to the last kilobytes, disabling IPv6 makes more sense than disabling IPv4. Both options are choices of last resort, though.

A dual core 240MHz cpu with hardware paged flash and spi ram expansion support is not "small" in my opinion.

However, I am a fan of their price point for hobby projects. Best regards =3
