Oh, by the way it would be interesting to see if your Windows slowness is
affected by putting hap=0 in the domain config file. Are you running with
recent Intel processors which support EPT, or with AMD processors supporting
NPT? The former can be checked via xm dmesg and look for EPT in the output.
If not then hap=0 will actually have no effect.
