I think you underestimate the performance impact. AFAIK IPv6 does not support the clasical IPv4 fragmentation anymore (intermediate routers won't fragment the packets but drop them).
Hmm, yes, true, IPv6 does not support fragmentation at all...
It does, but it's done end-to-end, not at intermediate routers. See Section 5 of RFC 2460.
