I was hitting the same problem last days so i went through some test, the configuration you suggest is quite nice and according to my result yun anticipated me on the problem doing my next step ;).

basicly i was wondering using MySQL Cluster and a Cluster MySQL for some different services. Setting the point that mysql cluster was taken in account for availability specs more than for its performance.

That said here some spec data:

hp/ibm dual quadcore with SAS RAID and 8GB of RAM. (for dom0)
OS: Centos 5.3
Virtualization: xen

for real server no SAS but SATA RAID and 4GB of RAM

I got 4 of the former and 2 of the latter.
All domus where on .img files.

Used sysbench for testing

i tested: mysql cluster on domUs, mysql on domu and mysql on real server 

I got real pour performance with mysql cluster on domus no data for that, but no optimiziation was done.

Moreover consider that no optimizatino was done for none of the configurations.

No conclusion at all, more serious efforts can be done for getting the best from each donfiguration, so just get this datas as a non production test, which is what it is.

Here some numbers hope they are usefull:

Don't use .img files for Databases! I've done the mysqlbench test on the same machine with the same database with using LVM and img files and with .img files I got within 5% of the Dom0 speed. When I moved the DomU to using LVM I got within 1% of Dom0 speed. This is the one instance where there's a definite advantage to LVM over img files.
