yeah, looks like that.
Actually I've got it working. I compared the hiperfifo.c (
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/hiperfifo.html) example (using libevent) and
the only one difference in events handling is that the event loop timer
callback calls 'curl_multi_info_read' (via 'check_multi_info') after
'curl_multi_socket_action', which seems to do help in such low latency
cases.
Extracting the 'curl_multi_info_read' while loop from 'curl_perform' to
separated method (like in hiperfifo.c) and a call to it from the end of
'on_timeout' just did the work.

understood, I wouldn't care about calling localhost that much if it
wouldn't be my use case ;)
Would you like me to send the improved example, or is the above report
clear enough for you?

Best,
