Care to elaborate?

We use Xen on CentOS 5 now and I can't wait for CentOS 6 with KVM to be
available (I'm also thinking we might have to start compiling our own distro
from RHEL source at the current state of CentOS, even just for PCI
compliance).

Some comparisons I saw in the last couple of years make KVM seem to be much
more efficient than Xen (the one which comes with RHEL/CentOS 5, I won't
consider using unsupported versions after the ordeal I went through), more
flexible in resource allocation (add/remove virtual cpu/ram/disks without
reboot) and is part of the vanilla linux kernel.

We might have been through this thread a while ago but I suspect that KVM
has progressed some since then.
