Does messing with resource scheduling actually fix the lag?

Based on the SSD report 2026-001 on Windows 11 24H2, I went through a bit of a struggle. I first tried letting Windows manage the virtual memory automatically, but that was a complete waste of time. I eventually opened Task Manager, navigated to the Details tab, right-clicked the game process, and bumped the priority to High. Checking HWiNFO, the controller temp hovered between 54℃ - 58℃, and the read/write queue depth actually dropped from 4.5 to 2.9. I ran a PCMark stress test to confirm the resource allocation was finally optimized. Switching the power plan to High Performance also killed most of the screen tearing. That said, in heavy ship combat with tons of NPCs, the disk usage still spikes to 100%, causing those annoying 0.5s micro-stutters. It feels like a hardware ceiling that software just can't fix.
