Does this mean you call this every 15 seconds? Then I would urge you to keep
using the same CURL * handle all the time, as then libcurl will most probably
keep re-using the same TCP control connection all the time... It will still
have to do the second connection for the data transfer, but at least that
won't do DNS resolves.
