 Thank you for your answer it was very exhaustive. 
I've learned a new thing, that is the poor performance in traffic 
between domU in the same machine rather than domU in different 
machines. 
I've a domU with tomcat and many jruby applications and, in the same 
machine, another domU as database server with postgres. 
Based on what you say I've to reconfigure my systems to have domU in 
different machines. 
Perhaps I can leave domU in the same machine but assign a different NIC? 
  Assigning a different NIC to it resolves the problem. Sending traffic out and back into the  same machine seems to be fine. If you look at the Xen architecture it all makes sense. There an amazing number of steps between each DomU that packets have to go through. There are fewer 
between the DomU and an external switch. I've not rerun the test since 3.2 but have no reason  to believe things have changed.
