Hmm.. have you tried LVM backed devices for HVM guest? Or raw devices.. 

Could you try iometer on dom0 to see what kind of performance you get
there.. or on linux pv domU? 

And one more thing.. was your XP HVM single vcpu or more? Did you try binding
both dom0 and hvm domU to their own dedicated cpu cores?
