Hi I am trying to fix some performance issues with Ktor's HttpClient with curl engine for Kotlin/Native but I am not sure how to proceed from here
I noticed that the http calls to localhost take above 100ms, even though the server can respond in 2ms or less
Reproducing the issue locally and running it a few times (even though I am using very primitive tools to measure the performance) shows that it does indeed run very slow

```expected: 11852
actual:   11850
average:  118.5
min:      105
max:      128```
running similar code in Java (using a different http client though) results in the following
```expected: 94
actual:   74
average:  0.74
min:      0
max:      25```
How can I figure out where this overhead comes from?
And how can I solve it?

my guess is that it probably has to do with async

after a bit more testing, I created an issue in the ktor youtrack
