I can answer only some of these questions. :) Why not upgrade Xen? We run on cloud VMs, so we aren't in control of the version of Xen that's being used. Patch the kernel? Honestly, we don't have the expertise to take on that

I work at Signal with John. I hadn't heard of GeoCouch before, so thanks for the tip. The service that uses Mongo isn't core to our application, so we're probably unlikely to change. MongoDB has been working quite well for us so far.
