Changed "performances" to "latency", so we end up with 
"may be misused to the point that the end-to-end latency falls behind that of per-hop recomposition"

Suggest to change the paragraph as below:
"

   Past experience with fragmentation, e.g., as described in "IPv4
   Reassembly Errors at High Data Rates" [RFC4963] and references
   therein, has shown that mis-associated or lost fragments can lead to
   poor network behavior and, occasionally, trouble at application
   layer.  That experience led to the definition of "Path MTU discovery"
   [RFC8201] (PMTUD) protocol that limits fragmentation over the
   Internet.
"


I'll also add that including a decent list of follow up

Cool : )

Many thanks again, Sarah. 

I posted v10 to reflect this discussion. Please let me know if all the above fits your expectations.

All the best,
