Spectre & Meltdown performance problems

[undercooked spaghetti]

Hi all, I wanted to ask about wether or not i should turn off spectre and meltdown protection on my PC. When i'm playing RDR2 and when i'm in cities/towns, i get bad stutter des[ite of my FPS being higher or very close to 60. I tried every fix and it was all in vain until someone suggested to turn this malware protection off. This worked and completely got rid of the stuttering and also gave me a few bonus FPS. I'm running an i7-4790 in my pc. So, the chances are i never even got a patch for it because despite my CPU being old, my bios isn't updated as well? The performance difference after disabling this from the software "InSpectre" is noticable. What i usually do is when i want to play intensive games, i turn this off and restart my PC and stay away from internet browsers and turn it back on when i'm done and again restart (It requires a restart to apply the change). Should i just turn it off or keep doing what i do?

 

Thanks!
