Thanks James for the answer,

Yes my Windows 2k3 have sp2 with the last windows update !
I have just finish to test the GPLPV 0.10.0.130, so now i must tested a new swinbench with this driver.
This is my domU config file:

#python
kernel='/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
vcpus=2
memory=4096
name='oracle10'
vif=['type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:ac:ac:ac, bridge=eth0 ']
disk=['phy:/dev/disk/oracle10,hda,w']
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm'
boot='c'
nographic=0
localtime=1
usbdevice='tablet'
keymap='fr'

Is windows 2003 definitely service pack 2? Anything earlier will really hurt performance.

What backend are you using for the DomU? Could you post your domU config?

Is GPLPV is definitely enabled? 0.9.17 is pretty old now, please try 0.10.0.130. you'll need to uninstall 0.9.17 using the uninstall bat file before you install 0.10.0.130.

James
