Time to try out whether profiling works in domU, so we can
figure out exactly where cpu time is being spent.  I'm willing
to help you debug this problem.

Great. Let me know of anything I can try. I'm happy to build custom kernels, try experimental patches, etc. I've never done any kernel profiling, but I'm happy to give it a shot. If you are referring to CONFIG_OPROFILE, then it seems that it's not selectable in a xen kernel atm
