I went thru the whole game already w/o major problems but later decided to replay some parts and got severe stuttering with freezes 5-10 minutes into the game.
Guess what all this started to happen only after I switched my mouse to PS/2 port (I was just fiddling with it and left it like that)
Plugged the mouse back into USB and - voila, everything is back to normal.
