I solved this problem by upgrading to Xen 3.2.
It seems there were some nice changes done in the qemu related code
and the network stuff was improved.

After the update, my customer and I feel much more comfortable with
this setup :)

Thank you very much for the quick response. I think my customer will feel the same way and I'm very relieved. This wouldn't be the first time a xen update made a windows box run better for me.
Thanks again.
