Comment (by dd32):

 would've helped if I used the right function (memory_get_peak_usage())

 results are similar, <2000 extra bytes used for all transports aside for
 the HTTP Extension:
 {{{
 exthttp consumed 9,314,240 Bytes of memory to download 3,096.07kB, took 8
 seconds, @ 387.01 K/s
 }}}
 That's the difference between the peak memory usage before a
 wp_remote_request() and after it completed.
