Both technically create the same amount of processes. There may be a small performance increase in the former since it doesn't have to wait for ls to finish completely, but there is a bigger advantage not performance-related: it can handle an arbitrarily large number of files, where the backtick version can only handle the maximum number of arguments allowed by the shell.

About 4 years ago I wrote this tool inspired by Rob Urban's collect tool for DEC's Tru64 Unix.

curlopt_maxconnects
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - maximum connection cache size
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set amount will be the maximum number of simultaneously open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool
associated with this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this
works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent increasing the number of open connections.
If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a smaller CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) than before may cause open connec-
tions to get closed unnecessarily.
If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not acknowledged, and you must instead use curl_multi_setopt(3) and the
CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) option.
DEFAULT
5
