I enjoyed your post, it made me think, could you do something similar with say the JVM?

I know loading JVM based applications have horrific startup times on cold boot, but I was just wondering could you run the JVM directly on top of Xen?

You might want to look at OSv[0], an extremely lightweight OS for running a singular JVM process on cloud vms. There's a decent list of unikernels (including OSv and LING) here[1].
