It works great.
No obvious memory or CPU overhead.
It's not the most secure thing in the world, as all the memory is available to
each vserver. That's a good thing for the most efficient memory usage, but
does mean one vserver can hog all the RAM if it wants.
Xen is a "proper" virtual server system. However you allocate a fix amount of
memory to each VM which is quite wasteful.
