"CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 takes over" ?

Besides, the resolving is all done by getaddrinfo() (unless you built with
c-ares) and I fail to see how libcurl can make that go any faster or slower
than what your system and network config makes it.

How do you know this?

You mean "can I disable IPv6 name resolving and just use IPv4?". The option
names you keep referring to is how to alter the behaviour run-time, and you
already said you did this and you claim it makes no difference.

The answer is: yes - just build curl with "configure --disable-ipv6".
