different tire widths for front and back

I have seen people who use a different tire width for the front than the back. Example, I know some who use a 2.0 on the front and a 1.5 on the back. I understand that the wider tire in the front will aid in overall control but what is the advantage of the narrower tire in the back? Perhaps a lower rolling resistance seeing how the steering control isn't needed in the rear??? Thanks.
