My findings a while back were that at 1st level you should expect a 20% 
performance drop (Note: Xen beats the competition here - other hypervisors do 
worse.).

More details here:

I am not sure what the overhead scaling is when nesting - it could be close to 
linear (multiply by 0.8 for each layer) or it could be worse due to greater 
cache contention and increased context switching.
