It sounds like you're calling curl_multi_perform() in a busy loop, without
checking if network sockets are ready or not. If so, this is not the way it's
supposed to be done. The app is supposed to only call it when there is data
ready to read/write or after a timeout. In the meantime, unless there's
something else for it to do, it should be blocked on a select() or poll()
call or similar. Please read the man page and take a look at the example
code to see how this is supposed to work.
