Ok, thanks. > > I don't imagine that this would make such a difference for libcurl, > where the network is likely to be the slowest factor!

Interesting. I might try the static linking but the dlls don't bother me so much, except for the whole slot 0 registry mod thing. > > Here's something that may be relevant to libcurl though: I find that > newlib (?) non-blocking sockets don't work too well - I found in the end > that I just had to give up and use the winsock interface (#define > __USE_W32_SOCKETS). Thanks for the info. libcurl uses non-blocking sockets internally so it might be relevant.
