If you want some sample code on how to do curl multi requests
without busy-waiting, please check out my article at:

PHP curl_multi example of parallel GET requests
http://www.somacon.com/p537.php

The PHP documentation only has the bad programming examples online, for
brevity I'm guessing. Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to
implement it that way...

Any comments/feedback on the article are welcome.
