My patch management and antivirus console machine is a Xen virtualized Windows 2008 machine that doesn't have problems. I even moved an XP VM over to the same server as that machine just to see what happens. The XP machine still performed poorly.
Ok. The next thing to try would be to update to gitco Xen 3.4.2 rpms, but I guess you switched to ESXi already :)
For what is worth, I had several problems with the gitco packages:
- in xen-3.3 .0 , Java starting to consume all the processing power (
the same VM with stock xen from Centos 5.2 was fine in this aspect; see my thread started at http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2009-February/000836.html )
- with xen-3.4.1 and 3.4.2 from gitco, an XP HVM failed to start,
despite working perfectly with stock Centos 5.4
Ok. Did you check "xm log" for more information about the XP problem?
