only one cpu in performance manager, but shows two processors in
device manager.  I don't know why there's only one processor in
perf manager, but I seem to be mistaken and xen seems to be doing
the right thing.

windows (at last up to XP/2003, I didn't test newer versions) detects the
hardware UP/SMP capabilities at install time, and can't be changed after
without a reinstall. So if you installed XP on a UP system, it won't be able
to use more than one CPU after.

When your vm is running if you execute

# xm vcpu-list

what the result?

In this case, my win2k8 have 3 vcpus (it’s a linux dom0,  but on netbsd have same case).

xm vcpu-list
Name                                ID  VCPU   CPU State   Time(s) CPU Affinity
Domain-0                             0     0     0   r--   37881.0 0
win2k8                              23     0     3   r--     393.7 any cpu
win2k8                              23     1     2   -b-     276.2 any cpu
win2k8                              23     2     1   -b-     227.2 any cpu
