We've also had some reservations about the performance of Xen under high server load. HP recently conducted a performance evaluation of Xen compared to OpenVZ (aka Virtuozzo) and while Solaris obviously isn't in this report, the performance degradation that Xen faces upon heavy server load really concerns me [1]. Then there are the Xen bugs (as well as Virtuozzo bugs) that lead to random reboots of servers. That kind of problem, even in a load balanced server environment, really bother me. The burstability, easy duplication, and other features in Solaris really make it shine for web applications.
