Star Wars Outlaws freezes for a split second when switching planets on my Intel 760P 2TB. Why is this I/O blocking happening?

Whenever I'm warping between galaxies, the screen just freezes for about 0.3 seconds, which is a total immersion killer in an open world. Checking the GamePP Hardware Sensor Page, I noticed the Intel 760P's queue depth was idling between 3-6, meaning resource requests were just piling up on the bus. I first tried disabling the Windows Indexing Service, but that did absolutely nothing for the load times, and I was honestly baffled by how useless that was. Then I dove into the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config and cranked the queue depth from 32 up to 128, while enabling the forced write cache flush.
