What resource(s) are you worried about CURL consuming?  CPU time?  Tell 
the user to run these processes using nice so that other user's tasks 
will be minimally effected.

If you're concerned about VM usage, or I/O, or something, experiment a 
bit and determine whether there is an issue, then consider saying "no", 
or tuning the system, or changing /etc/login.conf to adjust resource 
limits appropriately.
