It changes the page fairly dramatically. Before rolling out a page, you run it through their parser, which creates skeletal html and a javascript stub which you serve in place of the original html.

Then, when this substituted page is loaded, their javascript rebuilds the original web page with calls to eval() and whatever.innerHTML, in a way that the dependencies are supposedly streamlined.
