Note Submitter: t r u c e x a t g m a i l d o t c o m ---- Vitali, I can't understand quite what you mean because of your broken English...no offense. From what I gathered, you are arguing that curl uses more system resources than file_get_contents. I encourage you to analyze the underlying code behind libcurl as well as the php source that handles file_get_contents. FYI, I use curl on my website that has literally millions of hits everyday and I've never had a performance or reliability problem with it. libcurl is a very widespread library that operates on an impressive array of systems and configurations, and I don't have any doubts that the authors took into consideration performance.
