I trust you're using the multi interface.

That configure option is on by default. There are a few places that is still
blocking, yes. We have most of them documented in the libcurl-multi.3 man page

used.

I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly here though, but there are of
course also possibilities for plain bugs in libcurl or that your application
isn't using libcurl ideally.
