I can't reproduce any difference very easily anymore. With my GnuTLS builds I
get about 30-40 milliseconds with both. (And then it even negotiates HTTP/2
too in the curl case.)

libcurl goes through a couple of extra function layers but that shouldn't end
up even noticable. This has to be another flaw/mistake somewhere.

Is this using Tim's command lines (+ --tcp-nodelay) against google? Which TLS
backends are you using?
