Is running in a 48 MB Xen any different in terms of performance to
running on a hardware 48 MB RAM machine?

I see that I am not the only one with such requirements, one guy even
set up a site listing all VPS providers which host for under 7$ per
month: http://www.lowendbox.com/virtual-server-comparison/
You can see that the most you can get for that money is a 128 MB OpenVZ
I wonder if running PostgreSQL on OpenVZ is any different to running it
on Xen in terms of performance.

Oh here is something more:
http://vpsempire.com/action.php?do=vpslite
256 MB for 7.45$ per month
512 MB for 11.95$ per month
however it doesn't say what is the virtualization software, so don't
really know what it is.
