If interrupt delivery is not happening, then that may certainly explain
poor performance!

There were some important fixes to Xen's irq delivery mechanism that
have been added to FC5 since the 1.2080 kernel you are running.  Could
you please try updating to a newer kernel and seeing if you can
reproduce the problem?
