Before this is taken as an indication that using one of these
libraries will automagically make Emacs as fast as the applications
like curl, we should carefully profile url.el and find out which
part(s) of it cause the slowness.  Because it could well be that what
makes url.el slow will also make Emacs using libcurl slow.
