Do you mean that a Windows HVM consumes a lot of CPU according to xm top? 
If so you may have my problem - search for ACPI APIC and Windows HAL
issues in relation to performance of Windows HVM.

I haven't use Xen earlier than 3.2 (SLES10 sp2) so I can't comment on an
increase or comparison to Xen 3.0.2.
