It's really a strategic move to keep the other team from scoring.If you're lead jammer, you can rack up a few points, then call it off before the other team gets a chance to score.
Even if the jam weren't called off by the lead jammer, the maximum length for a jam is 2 minutes.

No, they wouldn't "wear out" the girls by having them stop the jam. The girls would just need to pace themselves better. I mean in hockey the guys can easily skate around the rink for long periods of time, so I don't think that is the factor. I think the real reason why they do it is so one team doesn't get a huge lead by having a jammer mess up early on. Still, the sport could be improved I think.

No. If they kept going the girls would wear out and the game would become too predictable and less strategic. Besides, they regroup pretty fast between jams and the jammer as well as all the other girls change every jam. And they rarely stop the clock. It still goes fast.

Interesting. Wanted to see the rules after I saw an episode of Psych with roller derby as the theme. I think it is a weird rule how they call off the "jam" and stuff. I wish they would just keep going around for a set time to make the sport even faster! But oh well, still interesting.
