Have you tried an older Nvidia driver? I'm running the latest 331.x driver on both XP and Win7 (both x64). The slowness might be indicative of an interrupt related problem. The boot parameters I'm running with are as follows: xen.gz: dom0_vcpus_pin iommu=dom0-passthrough unrestricted_guest=1 msi=1 vmlinuz: intel_iommu=on pcie_aspm=off pcie_ports=compat Note: The pcie_aspm=off pcie_ports=compat are to work around a bug on my motherboard that causes a massive interrupt flood due to a device on ICH10 flapping between hotplug states and creating an interrupt storm that makes the entire machine permanently unusable as soon as the kernel starts probing devices. You probably don't need those two options but they shouldn't do any harm while you're troubleshooting. Gordan
