Why would Curl_readwrite() get called on a timeout? I can only see that happen
when the easy handle is in the PERFORM state.

Yes, so if you call libcurl when the handle is in PERFORM it'll work in the
sense that it'll run Curl_speecheck(). But of course the handle may not be in
that state and Curl_speecheck() doesn't set any timeout or anything so you'll
probably end up with no timeout set on the handle even if the speed should get
checked soon again to see if it would match the criterias then.

Nice! I'll give it a check and I'll commit it in the examples section as I'm
sure others will enjoy it as well.
