Hello, I'm trying to use libcurl multi interface to fetch several data in parallel. I would expect this to be faster than performing repeated fetches using the easy interface, but for some reason I can't obtain any speed up at all: using the multi interface actually turns out to be MUCH slower than...

curl_global_init
curl_global_init(3) libcurl Manual curl_global_init(3)
NAME
curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_global_init(long flags);
DESCRIPTION
This function should only be called once (no matter how many threads or libcurl sessions that'll be used) by every application that uses
libcurl.
If this function hasn't been invoked when curl_easy_init is called, it will be done automatically by libcurl.
The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exact what features to init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the
values together.
You must however always use the curl_global_cleanup function, as that cannot be called automatically for you by libcurl.
Calling this function more than once will cause unpredictable results.
This function was added in libcurl 7.8.
FLAGS
CURL_GLOBAL_ALL
Initialize everything possible. This sets all known bits.
CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
Initialize SSL
CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32
Initialize the Win32 socket libraries. (added in libcurl 7.8.1)
CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING
Initialise nothing extra. This sets no bit.
RETURN VALUE
If this function returns non-zero, something went wrong and you cannot use the other curl functions.
SEE ALSO
curl_global_cleanup(3),
BUGS
None.
