Just how bad is "not very good" here?

How large?

I'm thinking of slicing up a X4150 into Solaris zones & XP xVMs to service 
about a half dozen sysadmins & Java developers with Sun Ray clients.  The idea 
is that they use the Solaris side for primary tool support with some software 
running in the XP xVM(s) and accessed via RDP.

Also, some server support software is expected to run on the Solaris zones to 
support the sysadmins and developers.  VCS, bug tracker, maybe a couple others 
with relatively small footprint.  And I had in mind to do this all elegantly 
with ZFS backing for the obvious reasons.

Would the performance of the XP xVM(s) not stand up to this kind of use?  Am I 
trying to do too much with one box?
