That's the name of a function in the PHP binding to libcurl. I would suggest
using the curl-and-php mailing list for questions on that!

libcurl itself has no particular limits, if you're referring to amount of
concurrent transfer/handles or so. Your system/app may have a maximum amount
of open file handles that'll prevent you from adding many thousands. Also,
when going beyond a few hundred handles the regular curl_multi_perform()
approach start to show that it isn't suitable for many transfers and you
should rather switch to curl_multi_socket() - which I unfortunately believe
the PHP binding has no support for.
