I suspect that's not important, but it is interesting. I see there was one out-of-order packet without xen, and two with. I didn't see anything else in the diff that was concerning. Jaromir suggested current; netbsd-9 XEN3_DOMU uses only 1 cpu, and my understanding is that current runs SMP. I'm guessing your box has a few not-super-fast each cores, and so that might matter a lot.
