It is worth noting that CURL uses libcurl internally so I would expect the
same performance...

It looks pretty much okay to me - although I did wonder a couple of things:

1) What is your page.byteArray() function returning? Is it the void* that
CByteArray wraps or is it a reference? If it's the void* then surely the
ampersand isn't required is it? If this is the case then are you passing the
address of your void* (so effectively a void**) and not the contents of your
void* which may be causing the runtime library / OS's memory manager to do
"extra" stuff (thus slowing you down) if you're overwriting memory
boundaries etc...

2) What does your append() do? You mentioned realloc() and memcpy() - does
it do anything else? What happens if you use a pre-allocated chunk of memory
rather than keep allocating it (Obviously you wouldn't want you app to run
like this but just as a test to see if it's the append() that is slowing
things down).

Kind Regards

Steve
