Yes. Depending on the use case we may create it on the Begin/BeginPass 
when the shader is needed the first time (this may also be something 
like isParameterUsed or GetVertexShader). We don't need the shaders for 
cases like GetPassDesc, where only the shader blob is used and in cases 
the shaders are not used at all (e.g. if some technique is for shader 
version 2 and one for shader version 3). That's why I think it may be an 
option to defer the shader creation. Imho this needs some tests first 
before an useful decision could be made. The comment was added, because 
I removed the previously available shader creation (which had some flaws).
