How do I stop combat stuttering in FF16 on a Great Wall GW3500 512GB SSD?

Summoning units caused maddening stutters. I tried adjusting virtual memory, but it made the read/write conflicts worse. I used GamePP to increase queue depth from 1024 to 2048. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random read jumping from 45-52MB/s to 68-75MB/s, making the combat smooth.
