My loading screen hangs at 90% in Delta Force with a Sapphire RX 7650 GRE; should I optimize shader pre-compilation?

Having to stare at a loading bar for an eternity before every match is pure torture in a competitive shooter. The Sapphire RX 7650 GRE driver was struggling with fragmented shader files, compiling at a pathetic 0.6-1.2MB/s, which caused a massive I/O queue backup. I tried running a disk defrag first, but that was a total joke—it actually added 10 seconds to the load time. I eventually enabled shader pre-caching in the driver settings and tweaked the driver response priority in the registry. Using a CrystalDiskMark-style test, I saw random read response times drop from 1.5ms to 0.8ms, and actual load times plummeted from 45 seconds to 22 seconds. I did have a brief driver crash after the first registry edit, but restoring the default startup items and re-configuring fixed it. Core temps are a cool 38-45°C and everything is stable. I exported the optimized driver config via a third-party tool, and fans are now steady at 1200-1400RPM.
