Theoretically, XEN should be faster than VMWare. Xensource have stats
showing that XEN stomps all over VMWARE for performance, and VMWare have
stats showing that VMware ain't that much slower the XEN. The only way
to get a definitive answer is to test your own workloads on your own
hardware.

Some people still feel that XEN isn't totally enterprise ready yet. Not
being a XEN user I can't comment, but from what I've seen on XEN at
demos, etc. I think it isn't quite up to what VMWare can do right now.
(But then again, XEN maybe enough for you)
