 Isn't heavy io a given for almost all normal applications, other than the 
purely scientific. All "NORMAL" work the computer does is dependent on on heavy 
io--whether it be database or webserver or mail server (Not DNS, but even there 
you have network coming in). I personally prefer the paravirtualized, because, 
even though the features doesnt' exist at the point of talking, in that setup 
you have much greater control over the domU from the dom0, and you can do some 
nifty mass actions from the host to all the virtual machines. One feature I 
would like to see in the paravirtualized system is the ability to sync the 
guest.

 Thanks.
