Ok,
this is (was i wrote) a file based emulated disk which is slow by principle. 
This is usually not useful in productive / high load environments. To get 
"full" storage troughput you should use something like:

 - plain / dedicated disks (hardware)
 - plain / real partitions
 - LVM volumes from Dom0

 or any "real" storage type.

instead of file based / emulated disks.

Change this and check again.


good luck and 
cheers,


Niels.
