The numbers shown are the percentages of the total time for the race taken by the groups of crews split into half-minute batches. The crews whose overall times are within 30 seconds of the winner are allocated to group 1, the next half minute to groups 2, and so on.
Group 0 consists of all the crews in the race.
It is noticeable that the faster crews (those in low-numbered groups) go off more steadily than slower crews (though faster in absolute terms, of course), and that these faster crews spend fractions of their whole course times in the middle phase of the race between Barnes and the ARA.
Putting it another way, the weaker crews tend to go too fast off the start, and perhaps have enough energy to do a relatively fast final burst. They go relatively slowly over the middle part of the race.
