If you want to improve that you should first break that number down even more
into exactly what stages that take what time. Then see if you can optimize
that more. curl of course does as good as possible already given the
requirements and there's no secret --work-faster option.

No, the latest is 7.18.1 now.

And this is not a known problem at all.
