Well, your server is being silly then since it should respond with a
100-continue faster than two seconds (in a typical low-latency network). But
there are two ways you can alter this effect:

CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and making libcurl skip the Expect: header with
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.

Yes, when not using Expect: libcurl will cram more into the first package. Up
to 60K iirc.
