I believe that when the module's index.php is called, then all the
session objects for that module are instantiated.  This creates memory
overhead that might not be needed if the module isn't in the fore.
Although now that I think about it, I would have to instantiate my
manager anyway to know how to display the blocks.  Hmm.
