[libcurl-internals talk coming up]

libcurl uses select() to detect incoming data. It then reads all the data
that has arrived and sends it off to the "write callback". It uses
non-blocking sockets all over.

If you believe the size of the buffer used for incoming data makes a
difference, then you can decrease the size libcurl uses with the proper
curl_easy_setopt() option.

I'm convinced you'll find that sufficient for your XML streaming desires!
