(I suppose you refer to the +r flag.)

NO. The current emulator is single-threaded. Nothing else
can run while an ets operation is taking place.

I strongly suspect that there is a bug in your own application, that
changing the hardware has changed the timing and exposed a latent bug.
Of course, the bug could be in ets; in that case it should be possible
to reproduce it on any machine if you would do EXACTLY the same ets
operations.

Have you tried to trace all ets operations?
