i don't know about ease of administration; but openVZ might be even faster 
than Xen, since they don't create virtual machines to run several kernels.  
they run a single kernel, and achieve separation by chroot-like jails (but 
much more extensive).  the overhead is almost non-existant.

the drawbacks are that since you're using a single kernel, it's much more 
difficult to use 'standard' linux distros.  basically, you're almost limited 
to using a single distro for all the 'partitions', but each can be configured 
differently, and the root user on one can't administer another.
