I am having long retrival time problems, typically upward of 10 seconds or
so says the total_time debug statement. Sometimes however it is as low as 2
seconds. I am posting to a secure payment gateway and pulling back the html
results. It just seems to me that this process should be a whole lot faster
then it is. I am using the version of cURL that comes with PHP 4.2.3 for
windows.

========= CODE =============
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://paymentgateway");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20); //times out after 4s
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://clientsite);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $strPost);
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
                /*
                echo "<BR><BR>";
                print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
                echo "<br><br>cURL error number: " .curl_errno($ch);
                echo "<br><br>cURL error: " . curl_error($ch);
                echo "<BR><BR>";
                */
        curl_close ($ch);
==============================

Is it possible to speed up this process??

Thanks!
