You're leaving out so many details that would be next to impossible to tell.
Like:

Which libcurl version? What libcurl interface/function are you using?

What's libcurl doing at the point (8000ms) into the transfer? (a verbose
output would tell)

Which protocol are you transferring at the time?

Downloading or Uploading?

I don't know iOS at all. I figure it is built to use the stock synchronous
name resolver? Could it be a very slow name resolve that's going on?
