OK, to help us investigate it, I created a bugzilla entry for it, 
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1143; 

And previously, there were some discussions on this issue, I attached them 
below.

=========================

For the virtual interrupt injection rate, there is almost no change across 
save/restore;
The save/restore happens on the same machine.
The downgrade happens under all combinations of 32pae/32e VMX guests on 
32pae/32e Xen, and it should exist for quite a long period of time.
