In which case you will be getting 10% gains ;)

Yes I've been doing a fair bit of reading/testing of late and I'm to the
point that I'm happy with Xen, just wondered if there was something
special I was over looking with VMware (or any other virtualisation
technology for that matter).

Actually I'm to the point with Xen I have a PXE install options working,
and I've almost got a mini CD install of the same thing working, well
the default works but I'm trying to use the Xen kernel by default
instead of waiting for the normal kernel to install, remove it then
install the Xen kernel.
