I think so.

But the app feed the curl_multi_socket() thefore curl_multi_socket()
should only have the sockets from the app.

I think this is the major problem because some functions make their own
socket()/connect() calls.

I think i have understood this, hopefully.

Yes and the one which the libcurl create by it self also!

I think this is a major redesign for libcurl, isn't it?

I have looked into 'curl-7.14.1/lib/transfer.c => Curl_readwrite()' which
is called by 'curl-7.14.1/lib/multi.c => curl_multi_perform()'.

Have i the right point of view from your site?

Now i understand what you have mean with the extra time.
