As I think I have mentioned before, I'm not sure how well it works under
Xen.

E.g. http://wiki.vpslink.com/Compiling_ztdummy_on_Xen has a considerable
ammount of unneeded voodoo. The basic thing they do there is to use the
internal timing intead of RTC. But do they actually have HZ set to 1000
on that system? Odd settings for such a machine.

I would also recommend:

1. Debian :-) (As I package Asterisk for it)
2. Do consider Asterisk SVN trunk. At least if this is a home PBX.
Specifically The extra timing source stuff might be of direct interest 
to you.
