i haven't compared performance, as i still don't have any VT-capable hardware
(and won't for several months more). in fact, that's my biggest obstacle to
using all Xen. still, your performance numbers are too low, i don't think
that's all you should get.

i guess it should; the usage scenario for paravirtualized drivers (when and
if they're implemented) is to first install windows on a fully virtualized
hardware and after that installing an 'enhancement pack' with drivers for HD
and network that can detect the Xen hypervisor underneath, and optimize for
that.
