You might notice a difference if you loop though the code 100,000
times or so.
One advantage of using libCurl vs exec() is that you dont have to
worry about where the location of the actual 'curl' binary is:
exec('/usr/local/bin/curl');
exec('/usr/bin/curl');
exec('/bin/curl');
exec('C:/windows/curl.exe');
exec('C:/Program Files/Curl/curl.exe');
exec('X:/shared apps/curl/curl.exe')'
etc..
With libCurl, you just ensure that curl is enabled in php.
