It could be their end, it could be slow name lookups or 59 other things. It
really is impossible for any outsider to guess without lots of more details. I
would recommend that you analyze or network traffic when the curl commands are
run and then based on their timings you see what particular actions that cause
delays or not. This is not strictly a curl matter.

Only if the server you "speak to" is signed by a CA that is in your CA cert
bundle.
