When I use the options CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS/CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS‏, during the period of wating for timeout or response from server, does curl code still use/lock the cpu during that period?

If you're asking if libcurl will busy-wait, the answer is no. It will basically spend most of its time doing select() (or poll()) waiting for something to happen on the socket.
