My (unqualified) 2 cents - the major bottlenecks that are likely to exist
are (a) disk I/O and (b) the network. The overhead introduced by using the
wrappers in the C library are probably negligible.

I don't think it's worth making the curl code more complex to use the
native Win32 functions instead of the stdio stuff.
