After rebooting XEN host, odd processes have appeared...
I am seeing a lot more processes running that before:
(see below)
Are these related to a service update?

Some of them are multiplied by the number of CPU cores. In UML there was only 1 – in Xen you have 4.

@OverlordQ:
Use a different 'top' like htop and it'll filter out those kernel processes.
Now that is just too cool for school. Thanks for the tip! I JUST NOW got my SMP parallel python code running and saw your post - htop is perfect for monitoring my Parallel Python tests.
In case anyone wants to see my public domain code for parallel genetic algorithms in Python:
