Push notification service, the market has its "own" push notifications implemented. When we installed a couple apps from the page, they installed almost immediately. This isn't the phone asking if there are installs pending, this is the market site pushing the info directly to the device.

If you disable sync, it will stop push notifications too.

Your phone market Google account also linked to the android market, thats the reason that you need to sign in before you install apps from webstore
