Thank you for your quick response. That helps a lot.

In our case we need to know precisely how much overhead memory is 
required by xen per domain. So is it okay for us to assume that it will 
always be under 0.8% or could there be exceptions to this (e.g. 
different fractions for a Solaris 10 HVM vs Windows HVM) ?

Thanks again.
