I doubt anybody uses curl as "production" backend, it doesn't handle cookies nicely, and apparently has horrible performance. EFL can use it, but can also use libsoup if you enable glib support.

If there are timed test in which it downloads large images (or other files) it would show.

Before the patch, curl reads a maximum of BUFFER_SIZE * 1/0.05 bytes per second. My guess is BUFFER_SIZE = 16k so: 320k per second. So 3 seconds per MB, even from localhost.
