Why does my Zhitai TiPlus7100 cause freezes in the village square?

I felt completely robbed of the horror atmosphere when every room transition in the castle caused a brief screen freeze. It was infuriating. I first tried disabling all background indexing services in Windows, but the loading time only decreased by 0.3 seconds, which was basically useless. I then used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to increase the queue depth from 32 to 128 and set the write cache policy to forced flush. CrystalDiskMark confirmed 4K random reads rose to 72-88MB/s, and AIDA64 showed SSD temperatures stable at 48-55℃.
