If the attached code was the complete example, then it's missing some
things. For one, curl_global_init() must be called before the threads
are created. For another, the handle is not being cleaned up after the
transfer, so not only is memory being leaked, but sockets and various
kernel network resources as well. You don't say what platform you're
using, but it's conceivable (though unlikely) that this might be enough
to slow down a poorly engineered system.
