How to reduce loading times in Dragon's Dogma 2 on Onda H610M?

The loading bar stalled while crossing the forest, breaking immersion. Setting queue depth to 128 had no effect. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config to increase depth to 256 and enable TRIM. CrystalDiskMark confirmed 4K random read speeds rose from 50MB/s to 75MB/s.
