Stutter on Camera Rotation

I have read some on this, it seems to be fairly common since the early builds of the game. The game runs flawlessly on max settings on my PC as long as I keep the camera still. When I rotate the camera however, i get a periodic stutter, sometimes even a few seconds freeze. Most of the time its minor enough to ignore but sometimes it is pretty awful. Even had the game lock up once during one of these hiccups.

My PC is not new by any means but it well exceeds the recommended requirements. i7 3.4 GHz and a GTX 1060 6GB and 16GB of good RAM. I can't quite understand why it has so much trouble on the rotation of the camera. Further, the problem persists even if I minimize the settings.

I do notice that the hiccups are often accompanied by hard drive activity. I look at the memory usage and often its sitting at 1 GB. I am wondering if the game has to periodically pull something from the drive and freeze to wait for the read to finish. But why would it need to do that considering the rather steep recommended configuration? Why does it recommend 6 GB of memory but never use more than 1?

I'm no technical expert here and i could be wrong on the reason, but the skipping seems like something that just shouldn't happen given the requirements and overhead here. So what is the issue and are there any solutions?
