CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT makes you not re-use any exiting connections from the
pool when you start a new request. It enforces a fresh connect to be done.

CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE will prevent libcurl from keeping the connection alive
after this request for further re-use in subsequent requests.

Both options can seriously hamper your performance if you intend to do many
requests against the same server.
