Here's what I tried:

1. current libcurl dev version
2. build hiperfifo with libevent 2.0.21
3. added a 100ms delay with tc, making ping "localhost" take 200ms
4. invoke hiperfifo
5. add a URL that requests a 4KB file from localhost
6. repeat step 5 20 times

I can't spot any problems with this!

I also tried to run the test suite event-based ("./runtests.pl -e") with the
added delay still enabled for localhost but I spotted no problems there
either.

Are you usoing plain HTTP urls or what schemes do you test with?

I can't think of a single thing inside libcurl that has a 100ms timeout or
expiry of anything!

I think you should consider trying with the latest curl release first before
you spend a lot of time. Maybe you're seeing a problem we already fixed?
