Probably not, unless you use the commercial xen.

Hard drive and network access is a fraction of the throughput of the bare machine due to lack of drivers, and of course you'll have no video hardware directly, only terminal server or vnc (not sure if commercial xen includes a video driver or just network/hard drive drivers). That'll make previewing videos a pain at best.

TBH for something that work heavy I wouldn't virtualise it anyway - you need every ounce of I/O speed you can get.
