I can't see how you'll gain any performance at all. You'll get a slightly
smaller binary, that's the primary and main gain.

There are #defines in the lib/config.h file in the style
CURL_DISALBE_[protocol] that are meant to do exactly this. If you define the
define and rebuild, the protocol should be disabled.

Just take note that we don't really do this on a regular basis, so it isn't
likely to work 100% without manual adjustments.

If you venture down this road, I sure others will appreciate if you put
together such a document!
