Why are loading times long in Resident Evil Village on an RTX 5060 Ti?

Loading in Resident Evil Village took 15s. I tried overclocking VRAM to 2400MHz, but it crashed. I used DDU to wipe drivers, installed the Studio version, and cleared the shader cache via GamePP. Now, AIDA64 shows VRAM temp at 63-67°C. Load times dropped to 9s. The system is stable and fast. It's a huge relief.
