Occasionally, when my system is under heavy load, it will freeze for a

purge is still busy, cannot purge list

What is the meaning of these entries? Is it a red herring?

My guess is that the relation of block I/O requests to block device
speed is bad (i.e.: to much I/O for the slow disk). If the I/O is caused
by paging (swap), you might want more RAM or trim down your VMs to use
less RAM.
Despite of that I think there was a recent Xen change limiting block
queues (or something like that).
