No, I haven't. But I don't think it matter in a Xen guest, the APIC timer is
emulated anyway, so reading from a register of the APIC is going to be
slower than getting the value from the PCD services, I think.
(Hopefully, I'm not too wrong.)

But I'll give it at measuring the difference, it would be interesting to
know.

Thanks,
