Another reason is to create velocity switching. If you have a set of
samples with 3 or 4 levels of loudness for each note or drum -- just assign
all the pp samples to one group, all the ff samples to another and so on.
Then when you want to program in the velocity switching, do it in the
groups so that group pp only responds to notes with a velocity between 00
and 40 say. 

This saves and incredible amout of time (imagine setting velocity levels
for every single sample in a large piano sample set) and also if later on
you want to change the response or scaling of the instrument it is very
easy to edit the velocity zones of the groups.
