If you're using curl_easy handles on a single thread, then the threaded resolver or c-ares is not going to get the domain name resolved faster. If, however, you have several curl_easy handles in a single curl_multi handle on a single thread, then there will be multiple lookups going at once if the threaded resolver or c-ares is in use, so the process will be faster. (Unless my understanding is wrong…)
