["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes thats correct.

The windows dom Us are using between 30-80% usage in xm top and the host
itself is running slow.

Ill have a look at your recommend searches

Thanks for your help

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.
