Update 3
Problem:
The mouse is lagging and jumping, the sound is crackling and distorted, and the game performs very poorly on a modern CPU (i5-3570K). According the official forums (Russian language), this is not uncommon on faster CPUs.
List of symptoms I've noticed so far:
1. Mouse stutters, jumps, lags
2. Sound crackles and skips
3. Game performance is very low
4. CPU usage remarkably high
Potential solutions:
1. Until a patch or a better fix comes along, one thing that appears to work is temporarily reducing the frequency (speed) of your CPU. This can be done using Windows' built-in power settings. I've made a post detailing how you can do this below. You can ProcessLasso to automate the loading/unloading of the power profile (thanks syndicatedragon).
2. Try starting the game in Windows 95 compatibility mode.
3. Disable Steam.
4. Turn off the sound/music, then restart the game.
5. Start multiple instances of the game (turning the sound off on each of them), then play on the third or fourth instance.
You can try any combination of the above to make the game a bit more playable. Hoping for a patch.
