Benchmark is consistently around 75-80 seconds!

I think I found the issue for anyone that might have the problem in the future. My ipv6 connection was not working and it must have been taking about 75 seconds to revert to ipv4. I had similar issue with bitbucket in the past where things would work, but super slow...I'm not sure why curl would be immune though.

Resetting my modem did the trick...

That's interesting... glad that you figured it out!
