libcurl problem or something else ?

Hello,

I have php page using curl to get some data out, but this script takes 10 - 11 seconds to get some simple stuff out of that page.

I even made a curl test script and it does this :

time php curltest.php

real 0m10.679s
user 0m0.204s
sys 0m0.065s

OS : Fedora Core 3.
I have updated curl library with source rpms from fc3 (7.12.3) to fc7 (7.16.4) without any luck. I was using php 5.2.0 and now I have updated to php 5.2.5 with no luck.

Currently I’m using :

curl-7.16.4-1
php-iworx-4.3.9-7.fdr30.iworx
php-snmp-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-ncurses-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-mbstring-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-xmlrpc-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-pgsql-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-odbc-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-mysql-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-mcrypt-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-ldap-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-devel-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-pear-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-mhash-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx
php-imap-5.2.5-100.fdr30.iworx

I’m out of ideas at the moment.
Does anybody encountered something similar and might give a hint ?!
Any suggestion it’s more than welcome.
Thanks in advance.
