I'm using libcurl to pull a big file. While doing the vtune profiling, I
found that libcurl called gettimeofday() inside "curl_easy_perform" and it

function call?
There's no option to avoid it, no. libcurl has a lot of functionalitiy that is
based on time and it uses "Curl_now()" internally to get the current time -
and that function ends up calling gettimeofday().
This said, we *should* minimize the amount of time calls. It has been a while
since we had a cleanup of that so I'm sure we can improve here - in particular
by avoiding subsequent calls to Curl_now() when we did one in the parent
function etc.
