I want to know whether Xen shares pages between domains or not.
When I read "Memory Resource Management in VMware ESX server",
they use page sharing between domains with hash value of a page.

willing to do so.

There is explicit page sharing in Xen, but the kind of automatic scheme described in that paper. This is largely because it's unclear how great the benefit would be in practice.
