Those are very short times. I'm not questioning that, I'm only stating facts.

CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT does not really work for the multi interface in any
released libcurl version. We're working on making sure it works correctly for
the next release.

Since you're looping and will do the select() call multiple times, you need to
check how long time you've executed and deduct that time from the 75
milliseconds each time you call select() if you want a total time of 75ms and
not 75ms per select() call.
