There's a lot less shock to the system if your engine speed is close to or matching with what it should be at the speed you're going before you engage the clutch. If you just depress the clutch, change gears, let the revs drop down and then re-engage the clutch quickly you get that big lurch and possibly even an instant of everything locking up because of the sudden shock. On the other side of it, if you ease the clutch out and gradually let the engine pick up speed as the clutch engages, you're prematurely wearing the clutch due to the slipping.
