That's not on the dom0 side, but directly in the w2k3 domU .. : you'll get *bad* performances (at IO and network level) if the xenpv drivers for Windows aren't installed .. Unfortunately you will not be able to find them for CentOS. (While Upstream have them of course)
I see on google that no one really knows when they will make xenpv available in CentOS....
well, how did you reach that conclusion ? Essentially, you get your credit card out and pay Citrix for the drivers. Considering they use CentOS within their development / testing process I am quite sure they have the right stuff required for the Windows DomU hosted on CentOS Dom0

I will definitely look at such an option, but I do not want to go custom with my CentOS implementation, and I am only going to use the windows 2k3 domU as domain controller and print server, so if it does not negatively impact speed of other PV domUs then I can live with 100Mbps and slower I/O
But I am definitely keeping a lookout for when xenpv comes out for CentOS
