Bartleby's Quotations suggests it was devised in order to test the speed of the first typewriters (http://www.bartleby.com/73/1388.html), i.e. to test the machine rather than the typist. That may explain why it swaps hands quite frequently so you can type faster with less risk of the typewriter keys becoming entangled.
