Using which resolver backend in libcurl?

The libcurl multi interface doesn't use threads at all. It does multiple
transfers in a single thread.

That sounds like you're using the stock resolver, as that is synchronous all
the other transfers stall during each name resolve. 100 name resolves in
serial can take a long time. libcurl for windows defaults to build with a
threader resolver.
