that if you have multiple workers you can have them assigned a "multiple" fraction of the work if you know that they'll process tasks faster. i.e. you have a local worker fetching from the interwebs big chunks of data. You observe that you're queueing tasks faster than that server can process them. You start another worker in another server and since it'll be just churning data, you want it to process 3 times the tasks the other worker gets (i.e. to offload the local worker). This means that when the scheduler "ticker" (the coordinator) sees two workers, it won't assign 5 tasks to one and 5 to the other, but 5 to the first and 15 to the second. In the end, the tasks will always be assigned and processed, but you can "steer" the assignment process acting on group names.
