It makes request processing more efficient for IP-based virtual hosts if you need to specify explicitly when a host is name-based. This way, for IP-based virtual hosts (ie, for any IP address that has not been specified in a NameVirtualHost directive), apache doesn't need to bother matching against the ServerName inside each <VirtualHost> block, it can simply use the first block that matches the IP address/port.
