Debugging one of a kind probems - do without parallel processing?

Many users report on-of-a-kind and non repeatable problems.
This makes me think that these are caused by interactions between foreground and background
processes. "Timing"
Would it be possible to create a special version of IM which works sequentially?
If such a version is not unusably slow it would be a way to pinpoint the problems.

Impossible.
IMatch has been built from ground up to utilize modern processor architectures.

When you have that kind of problems, try limiting the number of parallel processing threads used to write/read metadata, disable background processing and especially take special care that scripts you run behave properly, use transactions where needed and don't work against the core IMatch system.
