Lets narrow this down a bit. You are comparing two different systems
with potentially different interfaces. Lets concentrate on one machine
first. Is the performance on your Athlon 64 without Xen (meaning you
boot without Xen) in the same ball-park figure?
I want to make sure we can eliminate the hardware being at fault here.
