You don't have to purge anything. If you have an existing Xen guest,
you can work with it as is; no need to install grub if you dont want
to. For new installs, of course it is easier to fire up the native
installer which does everything for you.
Things like updating the guest kernel and initrd are usually much easier
if the kernel is contained within the guest disk image. Similarly,
copying an image or backing it up is simpler if you don't have to worry
about the kernel.

Guest performance will be lower, but just for the test. The -no-kvm
option is very useful in determining whether the problem is in the
kernel or userspace.
