It's very hard to tell with a lot of cloud going on these days. As you probably know, I do a lot of playing with zero/day infections and am seeing the time factor being reduced more each day. I can't believe that the filter itself has a crawler but with the almost instant cloud update from the crawlers I am thinking that the most likely method is just reversed from when it was a signature list being updated. It would appear that the updates contain a "white" list and anything that don't fit that gets thrown out. The signatures are the "black" list for the removal of anything that slips through and can be a little later than the first batch and then with good heuristics and behavioral coming into play it's a win win.
