Why does The Mageseeker hitch during match loading screens?

Entering the match loading screen caused occasional hitches, which is extremely annoying in a fast-paced game. I initially tried changing the disk mode to 'High Performance' in the BIOS, but this only increased idle power consumption while the stutters remained per GamePP. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to raise the limit from 1024 to 2048 and enabled the forced write cache flush. Random 4K reads improved from 60MB/s to 85MB/s per CDM, and response times stabilized at 2-5ms per GamePP.
