Our virtual machines boots within this time (10s and less) and I

Does it change if you make dom0 have more vCPUs?
At certain level, yes. But linear performance (per VM) will been kept in
performance of single CPU...
lower load, but not sure if any other system with bridge level
aggregation and live migration could perform better.
Same for disk IO - XCP do have relatively slow ISCSI, performing
only around 300-500MB/s (instead expected over 1GB/s), but, again, I
saw nothing better right now.
1GB being what you saw on baremetal? Or is that what your line speed is?
Baremetall shows something like 1.2-1.5GiB/s (bunch of disks in huge raid).
One problem with 'slow XCP' may be within HVM - which is lame mode
for lame windows-based appliances.
Are you using the PV drivers in your HVM guest?
I don't use windows and don't use HVM at all. :)
