Defer string formatting in asyncio Task creation #103793
Description
Feature or enhancement
When an asyncio Task is created without passing in a name (a common case), the init method uses a global counter to generate a task name of the form "Task-<counter>".
It is very common in applications that the task name is never read or used, and string formatting has non-negligible runtime cost, making task creation slower. It would be beneficial to defer the string formatting operation and avoid incurring that overhead during task creation.
