> question may be what do I get with XCP that I don't get with Xenserver 5.5?

The XCP snapshot = XenServer development trunk (except windows GUI, HA and WLB)

So with XCP you get shiney new stuff like:
* RBAC
* memory ballooning
* much more recent kernel (2.6.27 vs 2.6.18) etc
* checkpoint/ rollback

However with XenServer you get a fully polished thing which has been extensively stress-tested for ages.

Cheers,
Dave

So is that shiny new kernel a pv_ops kernel or has the xen patches been forward ported again. I've not tested both the xen kernel and the pv_ops but I keep hearing theirs a fairly major performance hit with pv_ops.
