This is actually pretty hilarious, but nevertheless it's really sad. On top of all issues with shutdown, startup, suspend and more, that both I (VM Suspend vs. shutdown and general problems...) , and many others have, I now upgraded my machine to dual core Opterons, and also added some more memory to see if that helped.
Nope, it didn't, and now the managment interface shows some completely absurd numbers..
And also, the VMs are running so slow it's absolutely horrible, time to go back to Server 1.x, it's just been too much now.
