Why does Dead Space Remake stutter when opening doors?

I felt totally robbed of the horror atmosphere; every time an automatic door opened in the Ishimura, a jarring 0.3s freeze occurred. I tried disabling disk write caching in Windows, but it didn't help and actually added 5 seconds to loading times. I finally used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to bump the queue depth from 32 to 256. After this, CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads hitting 52MB/s, with storage response at 0.8-1.2ms and temps at 42-48℃ per AIDA64. It's finally smooth.
