Isn't it a lot more cpu-intensive to 'collect' some 1500-byte frames into some larger bucket, reassemble it into a jumbo-frame when the next box has to chop it in order to send it out on a Sonet/PPP/etc interface which might have a smaller MTU again?
Intermediate routers to not 'collect' small packets into big packets.
