It really depends on software that you use as well as on your hardware. I have tried VirtualBox and VMWare. I didn't like the performance of the latter at all. VirtualBox with Windows XP works OK. It is still pretty slow even though I have core2duo with 2GB of RAM, but it is OK for syncing my mobile phone and doing little things. I wouldn't use Photoshop on it.
I should admit that I haven't tried to use Xen and Qemu, so I don't really know how fast they work.
