This sounds like the try-catch is not being used as ( how I see ) intended. As Alex mentioned, they are costly so unless you need it, skip it.
I suggest just adding an IOErrorEvent listener/handler to the caller, and if/when the call is complete then remove the listener(s) for GC. In the try, catch¹ scenario, your code is always checking¹ for the error.
