Is it recommended to run X on dom0 ? It runs fine but there are lags on screen update and i fear thats the cause for the mouse oddities and the occasional crash. Could some cache/write-trough issues be responsible?

Any recomendations? Or is Xen really more suited for server type stuff?I admit I never tried to run X on a Xen system, all my systems have serial console.
My main development machine runs Xfree86 on Xen 3/NetBSD 3.1 with 3.1, 4.0 and 5.0 domUs which have their DISPLAYs set to xen:0. i It works extremely well for me (I occasionally use Xnest too when I want a wm running on the domU.
