Dave, I use Xen 3 to run, among other things, an instance of Zimbra within a paravirtualized CentOS 5 guest. Zimbra relies heavily on Java and moderately on MySQL, and performs acceptably (although it serves a very small population). Sizing concerns aside, I didn't have to implement any workarounds or special tunings to get it to work.
Cheers, -sth sam hooker|[email protected]|http://www.noiseplant.com "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk."
