Then it probably built with the threaded resolver. At the end of the configure
run it says which one it will build with (and the curl -V output subtly
reveals the info too).

There are like a million factors that all work together and in this statement
you put them all together.

First, I think you should understand the API properly and make sure that's
used correctly. Then you should start small and get data from URLs that really
will give you high speed transfers and make sure the application works
correctly when using a small amount of transfers - perhaps a single one to
start with - and then add more when you've confirmed that.
