I don't have any experience with Xen, but this discussion got the best of my 
curiosity and I remembered seeing the free version of VMware player in 
Ubuntu/Kubuntus repository so I decided to give it a try.

It works flawlessly and it is fast, can't really tell it is a VM.

Only snag I ran into was having to hack up my own .vmx config file and then 
once I got VMware player running I installed windows XP and then made 
modifications to the .vmx file until windows was running correctly.

All in all, it works great.
