Comment (by Mingye Wang):

 A better wording here is...

  Disable speech-optimized codec (SILK) to remove a 4 ms delay.

 That clarifies what you lose and what you gain.

 The additional bit feels a bit useless now, but corrected it should read:

  Opus has a low delay of 26.5 ms by default. Try also `-frame_duration
 10`, which reduces delay without disabling SILK.

 ----

 Ah, and now there's this urge to mention the frame-size and SILK
 interaction. Try:

  `frame_duration` (`framesize`)
  [...] Smaller frame sizes achieve lower latency but less quality at a
 given bitrate. Sizes smaller than 10ms disables SILK speech encoder. Sizes
 greater than 20ms[...]
