Cliff, As Bill said, the http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/DoyenVirtualMachinePackage page shows how to boot the Live CD image (iso) using VMware. VMware currently is the most mature of all the virtualization applications.
Regarding your concern about speed, I only find the booting process a little bit slower (I think is something between VMware and Fedora, because other distros boot faster (Arch) ). After that, I cannot feel much of a difference. I have used a 1.2 Ghz computer (Celeron) with 512MB, so you can see that it is not very demanding and could be faster in newer machines.

I think it might be worth your while to read and understand http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/DoyenVirtualMachinePackage That is exactly what Alfredo has done using VMware. VMware is not open source but it is free. I don't see any reason why one could not do something very similar with Xen. Regards, Bill Page.
