Hello curl team, Summary : IMHO the important thing is to test on a "slow enough" machine, assuming the main measure you want is "elapsed". A Raspberry Pi 4 is a good candidate, and quite cheap (you don't need the 8GB RAM model to run curl!). Alternatives are of course using a much faster

Hi all, For a long time I've wanted to get something done that allows us to compare curl's relative performance. Ideally something we can run every once in a while to compare that nothing major has turned sour without us being aware of it. A first step would be a tool we can run
