It is not just the guest VM taking cpu time. Basically, whatever process I am doing hits 100% cpu usage in Windows. If I open IE, it will use 100% cpu for a bit while it opens. If I try to click on a website, it will do it again. Thus, it is causing a very sluggish session as it keeps pausing. It isn't just IE, it's any program I try to use. This CPU usage is reflected in xm top as both the guest's CPU% will hit 100% as will Dom-0. I have done pretty much everything specified in the Xen Best Practices. In fact, I have dedicated 4GB to Dom-0.
