I have googled this numerous different ways with little relevant results. Has anyone Postgres 9.x in a Xen 4.1 Open
Sourcevirtual machine (running on any linux) with success? Any performance tips I should be looking at, or should I
justabandon the idea completely? I would be very curious to see apples-to-apples performance metrics on this...

Well, Xen is used by Amazon, and they host lots of databases for Heroku
and EnterpriseDB, among others, so it should work just fine.
