Well, this gives me hope that I'm suffering from some kind of

"top" and "xm top", perhaps? If you have fast storage and slow CPUs,
you may be seeing the system struggle to keep the IO pipeline between
domU and dom0 full enough to saturate the disk, for example.
Another thing, are you using "phy:" or "file:" on the domU config?
