 Have you ever read the following paper? Pretty nice!

 If not, read all...

There is a way to do a little sort, gain a cohort and execute it. For instance all reads, writes, connections, accepts are all organized in a cohort.
Instead of processing a read, write, read, read, write. Say:
read, read, read, write, write
To get better locality. I remember some functions on winnt. AcceptEx, ConnectEx, TransmitFile, TransmitPackets, ect... ;^)
The main thing to use to wait on io completions:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mswsock/nc-mswsock-lpfn_transmitpackets
I used to use them all the time back in the day.
