The optimization achieves a **336% speedup** by removing an unnecessary `sleep(0.00002)` call that was consuming 94.7% of the function's execution time.

**Key Changes:**
- Removed the unused `asyncio.sleep` import
- Eliminated the `sleep(0.00002)` call (20 microsecond delay)
- Preserved the function's core behavior of returning "Tasked"

**Why This Works:**
The original function spent 36,000 nanoseconds (94.7% of total time) on a system call to `time.sleep()`, even for a tiny 20μs delay. System calls have inherent overhead that becomes significant relative to such short durations. The optimized version reduces execution time from 38.7μs to 8.87μs by eliminating this syscall overhead entirely.

**Performance Profile:**
This optimization is most effective for scenarios where the sleep delay serves no functional purpose - the annotated tests show consistent minor improvements across all test cases since they're testing the function's core logic rather than timing behavior. If the micro-sleep was intended for rate-limiting or timing-sensitive operations, this optimization would change the function's behavioral characteristics.
