I wouldn't even know how to do this on purpose.

libcurl has no thread-related code at all internally. Each libcurl transfer is
completely independent of anything going on in other threads. I don't see how
libcurl can do anything that slows down other threads, or what other threads
could do to slow down a particular libcurl thread... :-/
