That is strange. Is there a measurable improvement when moving the
mouse, or just an impression that you get?
Can you email me (privately if you want) a screenshot of device manager
with all the interrupt assignments? (device manager, view 'Resources by
type', and drill down to 'Interrupt Request (IRQ)'. Failing that, tell
me what IRQ the XenPCI device is using, and what else is using that IRQ.

Yes. GPLPV used to completely hide the network and ide devices in 0.9.x
but there were some very subtle problems with it. Installing the drivers
could stall for ages. Booting would be slower. A few other things also.
The problem is that in order to identify the ide or network device,
windows has to know about it first (otherwise I can't query it to find
out if it is the device I want to hide). Because of that, I'm hiding it
after Windows thinks it's already seen it, and strange things happen.
Xen 3.4.x includes an update that allows the disks themselves and the
network adapters to be hidden in a way that doesn't have these problems.
