Hi

I had the same problem in 3.0.0 and the workaround I found was to assign
more than one vcpu to the DomU. (The Dom0 has only runs only on one cpu)

I left xen to assign the cpus to each VM so I can not tell if the fact
of running on the same cpu of the Dom0 has any effect.

If it is of any help, the physical machine is a Dual Xeon 3.0 GHz, so
the hypervisor sees 4 cpus.

Bye
