We install GPLPV on all our windows Domu's and enable Viridian on all Domu's 
running windows 2008 or higher. We had stability issues on the windows 2008+ 
domu's if Viridian was not enabled. Whether it helps with performance or not I 
can't say. Generally, performance has been very good with GPLPV.

Steve.
