Here is the config I use (slightly modified from the one in OSSTest). No
setting with regard to video card, so it should be the cirrus.
Cirrus driver is not available for windows 7, support of it is near 
abandonment in upstream if I remember good what I read one year ago (or 
more) in qemu-devel, is better use stdvga instead in windows >=vista.
A had also strange graphic and performance problem with cirrus on 
windows 7 2-3 years ago, since then I have not set the cirrus on vm 
windows 7.
Try to vga="stdvga"

^^^^ Wow. That's ambitious for Windows 7!

I notice that too. But the installation seems to finish in a reasonable
time. :-P
Years ago on my tests system with few ram I tried to decrease ram as 
possible but I saw that with windows 7 (even if 32 bit) with < 1 gb made 
occasional problems that wasted my tests.
About performance for run tests (after windows install even if basic) 2 
gb of ram at least is needed for don't waste large amount of time on 
massive numbers of tests.
I saw many occasional windows tests fail on "[Xen-devel] [xen-unstable 
test] ....: regressions - FAIL" that I was unable to reproduce doing 
same tests (windows install, shutdown, save/restore) and that blocked 
push for days even if I not saw "real bug/regression" was found.
If these are only caused by "bad" xl cfg values rare to find on real 
users domUs I think is bad and should be improved.
