      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      Context

      Our async IO currently uses non-blocking sockets to match as closely as possible to the synchronous API. We should investigate using asyncio transports/protocols instead, which are asyncio's fastest interface for network IO.

      Definition of done

      Investigate asyncio transports/protocols and migrate our asynchronous code to use them, if compatible with our use case.

      Pitfalls

      Using a different networking implementation for the asynchronous API will require additional complexity in our synchronization system, as the two APIs will no longer share a common network layer.
