On my VM it was very bad - a few minutes over a 24-hour period. You have to use NTPd to keep the clock in sync. The problem is that since ntpd doesn't have access to hardware, it can only reset your kernel clock, keeping it somewhat accurate. The error will still be plus or minus a few seconds. I submitted a support ticket for this issue and that was the only solution we could come up with. I don't have any experience with Xen, so I'm not sure if there is something more that can be done on the host. - Max
