I understand your concern.

First, I think that in general, when using CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION libcurl
should be allowed to run slower, as the name of the option kind of implies
that this is for debugging and for getting internal info you don't otherwise
get.

In your particular case, won't a callback for the headers do it?

Besides that, I could imagine a system where we set some kind of bitmask for
the verbose option to signal what we want sent to the debug function. You have
any existing ideas/thoughts on what you'd like separated?
