It seems that Microsoft has recently revised several of their APIs. One
example is their ConnectEx(), as found in documentation [1]. The
implementation is not so complex that it just combines more operation
within one system call, however, this can reduce some unnecessary
context switches as it's now possible to do more things within one
system call. (For instance, when you connect to a server, you usually
want to send some data as request).
Shall we do something similar? Or do we already done something similar?

Actually, ConnectEx() was implemented to allow to post an asynchronous
connect operations to the i/o completion ports. There is no API to
implement high perfomance proxy in Windows NT and 2000. You have to
use non-blocking connect() and then pass the socket to special helper
threads that wait in WSAWaitForMultipleEvents() when the sockets would
be connected. Each thread could handle up to 63 sockets only.
