Its all around speed of data entry. There may be a control (say a checkbox) 
which is rarely used (or perhaps several),  excluding it from the tab order 
means yet another key press saved, and quicker progression down a form, not 
to mention saving the user the head/facial movements  that go along with it - 
maybe a bit subtle if your not used to this sort of thing.

May mean nothing in your environment, but in a data-intensive environment can 
add up to many hundreds of saved key movements per day.
