Every now and then I see fragmentation issues as described in
 	<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/kent87fragmentation.html";>http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/kent87fragmentation.html</a>

Just because a NIC or switch is 100 MBit does not mean that
it can handle 10 packets back to back with this speed.

I agree - performance with small packets is bad - but sometimes
it is the only way that works. (Or using TCP)

However it looks like he is lucky and just needs to tune his VM.
