Well, "your code" is also not going directly to the site as you do when you
use IE, right? Or are you comparing correctly when you run this php script on
the server?

Sure, but first you need to find out what's taking the time and tell me/us. I
don't know how to do that using PHP though. There exist no good reason why
using curl should be slower than anyting else (except for the simple reason
that you get two transfer times since the PHP program first gets the data and
then your client gets the data from your server).

I've written a tool (perl script) named 'formfind' that I use to extract
information about forms in HTML pages:
