Seems to be affecting my interactive latency though. I was going to
test a headless NX desktop install, I'll probably hold off on that for a
little while.

NFS, qmail, apache/php, imap and openvpn are the main services. Very low
load. Two imap sessions, one openvpn sessions. Not more than 2000 emails
per day.  CRM114 and clamav virus/spam scanning. mutt.

Postgres and mysql, on very low loads.

vmstat intr figures for the guest domU domains is usually <30.

I'm going reduce a dom0 kernel configure to the minimal and see how that
functions.
