Hi all-

I did a very simple performance test of calling the curl lib serially 300
times in a row with the same URL to measure the difference in reusing the
same connection v. calling curl_easy_init & curl_easy_cleanup(curl) after
every execution.

To my surprise it seemed to be consistently faster when reinitialized every
time; on average .17+ secs per call reinitializing every time v. .25+ secs
per call reusing connection.

Seems contrary to the doco, anyone experience this?

Thanks.

/////////////// code snippet

[...]
if(reconnectEveryTime){
curl = curl_easy_init();
}
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, buffy );
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, writeMemoryCallback);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILE, (void *)&chunk);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

if(reconnectEveryTime){
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
