Before booting the Windows domU I copied the current Windows HW
Profile to a new HW Profile, then when I boot the domU I choose the
new HW profile.
The first time I booted the domU, Windows took some minutes more than
usual to load, I suppose it was setting automatically the hardware
drivers; the next time it booted only a little slower than when I boot
it natively (due to virtualization).

What do you mean?
Xen VM configuration with 'phy:/dev/hda,ioemu:hda,w' only (hda is
Windows disk) and grub-install on /dev/hda without mapping?
