This may be irrelevant, but how much of the memory are you
allocating to dom0 in your configuration? I had similar
symptoms when running under 64MB.  Increasing the amount
of memory in my system (I happen to have 256MB for dom0 now)
eliminated all of the jerky and slow behaviour.

Others have reported no problems, however, when running in
low mem conditions.

thanks,
Nivedita
