I do think that the xen kernel would be slower since it would need to 
appropriate memory for your guest installations on your machine. I do 
not know if it has overhead without guest OSes or not though. Someone 
more familiar with xen might know the overhead aspects.

Regarding installing a normal kernel version, 'yum install kernel' 
should put the regular kernel onto your system. If you want the devel 
package also, you would also choose the kernel-devel package to install.
