Save event triggered when block inserted from tool palette

Can anyone explain why the BeginSave and EndSave events are triggered by a block being inserted via a tool palette? I am trying to have a database synchronization script run (takes about 3 seconds) on the EndSave event but it's completely worthless if it runs every time I drop a block onto the drawing; 3 seconds for every icon is ridiculous.

It does not trigger if a block is inserted via Insert -> Block, or much else from what I can see, just when a block is inserted from a tool palette.

Should I be tracking the EndCommand event instead and just filtering out saves, or is there a way to tell AutoCAD 2005 not to "save" (it doesn't actually seem to create a drawing, just triggers the event) when I do this? If I have to track commands, which I'd rather not but may have no choice, can someone list all the commands that cause a drawing to save?

Thanks!!

Could you filter out the following CommandNames using a Select Case?

DROPGEOM -- when you drag a tool from a toolpalette
EXECUTETOOL -- when you click a tool on a toolpalette
