I haven't tested with -unstable so I can't comment. If you can spare the
time (and aren't afraid of your DomU getting hosed), please test with
"Xen PV Drivers 0.9.12-pre15-dont-use.exe". That includes the TPR
patching which will give you a big performance boost under XP (and 2003
< sp2). You need to specify /PATCHTPR on the boot.ini to get that effect
though.

I'm in the middle of some fairly major changes at the moment, but it's
looking good so far.
