err.. sorry i got a little hasty there...

so i do have a select before my curl_multi_perform with a timeout of
10usecs.

In theory i should be able to even set that to 0 usec's just to poll if
there is data ready without even blocking for those 10 usecs.

That aside, my issue still remains.

If i have a tight loop of polling for more data and a sleep(1) to yield the
thread vs polling once a frame, i get vastly different response times on my
requests (as stated before).

I checked the example code and my code is identical:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/multi-post.html

Any idea what could be going on?
