Why does The Callisto Protocol freeze during prison runs?

I felt total despair when the screen would freeze for 0.5s during tense stealth runs in the prison. I tried disabling the write cache in system properties, but it didn't stop the stutters and made saving the game painfully slow. I then used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to force the queue depth from 32 to 128 and optimized concurrent processing. CrystalDiskMark 4K random reads jumped to 78-85 MB/s, and HWMonitor showed full-load temps at 54-61℃, while AIDA64 measured latency at 112-135ms.
