Title:
  Performance regression on curl-4.47 (16.04 LTS)

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The frozen version of curl-4.47 on 16.04 LTS has serious performance
  regression caused by bug in state machine which is causing a a poll()
  loop. The symptom of this is high percentage of sys time of a multi
  threaded process. In my case, as much as half of process time was sys
  (aka time spent waiting for network IO). curl-4.50 as it is stable in
  16.10 does not show this behavior  therefore I'd like to request
  version bump to be able to use LTS with fixed curl.
