My Intel 760P makes turn transitions in late-game Civ 7 take forever, should I tweak my scheduling?

The difference in turn transition speed after the firmware update was insane—wait times dropped from 15 seconds to about 6 seconds. The Intel 760P was struggling with the massive save-game data in Civ 7, with random reads fluctuating between 45MB/s - 52MB/s, leaving my CPU just idling for I/O. I tried bumping my virtual memory to 64GB, but that actually made the stutters worse, which was a total facepalm moment. I then updated to the latest Intel storage drivers and manually moved the page file to a non-system partition to separate the read/write streams. In my comparative tests, average response time dropped from 120ms to 75ms - 82ms, making turn jumps feel seamless. I did get a 'save file not found' error right after switching partitions, but verifying game files on Steam fixed it. Temps are great at 38℃ - 45℃, and frame times are locked at 5.1ms - 6.4ms.
