I've been running a few small servers on Xen for a while now - about 
6 months. I've had a couple of unexplained guest failures*, but to be 
honest no more (probably less) than we had when they were all 
separate boxes. None of the servers is heavily loaded - being a DNS 
master, DNS resolver, low traffic MailMan list server, and a fairly 
low traffic 'LAMP' webserver - so I can't honestly give any 
indications as to performance (and all the separate boxes Xen 
replaced were old 'hand me downs' with varied specs).
Even the Xen host machines are hand me downs that I've got because 
they don't have the hardware support needed for Microsoft's 
virtualisation stuff.

* Guest is consuming 100% CPU but is completely unresponsive to 
network or xen console.
