You can change the amount of memory in a XEN DomU, however it seems the DomU 
does not recognise any memory assigned to it above the amount specified in 
the DomU config file. However I can reduce it dynamically and increase it 
back up to that maximum value. For example, I can specify 1024MB as the 
initial amount, then reduce the amount of memory to 64MB, then increase back 
768MB, however I cannot go to 1536MB as that is greater than my starting 
1024MB.

The command for adjusting domain memory is xm mem-set <domID> <mem>

Particularly for hardware assisted fully virtualised operating systems 
stability seems to improve by reducing Dom0 memory as much as possible.

Hope this helps,
Jon
