+1.  **Optimistic Syscall**: Attempt a direct non-blocking system call (`sendto`) first.
+2.  **Success**: If successful (buffer space available), return immediately. This bypasses the overhead of creating a Future and submitting to the io_uring SQ (saving ~1-2µs per op).
+3.  **Fallback**: If `EAGAIN`/`EWOULDBLOCK` is returned, fall back to the robust `io_uring` path: create a Future, submit `IORING_OP_POLL_ADD`/`IORING_OP_SEND`, and await completion.

 ### Timer Handle Cancellation Fix
 During stress testing, a critical issue was identified where `asyncio.TimerHandle` objects were executed by the Rust scheduler even after being cancelled in Python. This occurred because `TimerHandle.cancel()` clears the callback arguments (`_args = None`), leading to a `TypeError` when the Rust scheduler blindly invoked `_run()`.

 **Root Cause**: Architectural decision to use standard `asyncio.Task`.

 - **Syscall Efficiency**: `uringcore` makes **1,979** syscalls vs `uvloop`'s **52,587** for the `gather(100)` benchmark. This represents **26x greater efficiency** at the system level.
