This might be useful for consumer cards as well: a tiny (0.25-2x VRAM) compiled shader or texture cache could possibly help with the framerate dips (microstutters). I know that PCIe bandwidth is not really an issue and SSD latency is significantly higher than RAM (but with NVMe pushing below 3 µs it makes you wonder how low a custom interface could go..)
