its hard to say without checking out your system but it might not even be a process slowing it down
but it does sound like the gfx cant keep up so its stuck on loading gfx when moving fast in a car
it could be a slow hdd or a slow gfx card but since this is a old game it should be fine on older cards i played it back in the day on a nvidia 8400 gtx

u will need to run videosetup.exe in the game folder.
turn down (or turn off) some of the graphics settings.
i ran it on a Amd hd5450 card .
it ran ok ,but i had to lower the settings to enjoy it.
and remember to install the one and only patch(1.0.3) that was released to fix some problems with ati/amd cards.
i think i mentioned it in the kaoskrew saboteur game thread.
P.S...If u alt-tab out of the game and try to go back with out restarting the game, u will get a lot textures errors the same as u mentioned.
u need to restart the game from scratch.
Sadly the game company went out of business after the game was released and we never got anymore update patches.
EDIT UPDATE:
READ THIS WIKI PAGE:
