Gah! Inappropriate use of an apostrophe. That always drives me crazy. - Chris Brentano

I think the change likely reduced the number of queries hitting their database servers, which is computationally huge. So it's probably a listener event which does a quick lookup to see if a friend of your friend is your friend, and if not it exits and doesn't generate an extra DB query and additionally doesn't generate extra tweets.
