 Background Info:

- PSRAM access is up to 15× slower than DRAM on ESP32 (dual-SPI bus), 3–10× slower than DRAM on ESP32-S3/-S2 with quad-SPI bus. On ESP32-S3 with octal PSRAM (`CONFIG_SPIRAM_MODE_OCT`), the penalty is smaller (~2×) because the 8-line DTR bus can transfer 8 bits in parallel. On ESP32-P4 with hex PSRAM (`CONFIG_SPIRAM_MODE_HEX`), the 16-line bus runs at 200 MHz which brings it on-par with DRAM.
- Consider that ESP32 often crashes when the largest available DRAM chunk gets below 10 KB.
