Windows 8.1 Jittery Mouse Solution?

Windows 8.1 comes with some nice improvements, but some changes are problematic:
a new "high DPI" handling makes many applications (including Windows Explorer!) look "fuzzy",
and likely for same reason mouse movement is not smooth, it is jittery, almost unusable sometimes.
That may be result of set scalling to 125% or 150%, but is a real problem anyway.
The issue with mouse movement may be less pronounced if this option is disabled:
