it's unknowable of course, but I'd love a ballpark figure on "number of http requests ever made that use #curl"

@xurizaemon several years ago already, the top users I know of did one million requests/second on average. That's *one site* doing 86 billion requests per day. Times many users. Times a gradual growth over 25 years.

Answer: a humongously freaking large amount.

@hazelweakly @xurizaemon right, that's why even small performance tweaks in curl can save a lot on the grand scale of things. I touched it a little recently in daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/04/28…
