The difference is quite small so it's hard to see visually - it's changing some points that were at at about a one degree angle difference to each other to instead be in a perfectly straight line.
What I did first was to use Edit > Separate on the curve to break it into it's individual segments that make it up. That way you can hover your mouse over each one to see where each segment ends.
Then I turned on control points and zoomed in quite close to the end, there is a small cluster of control points at the end so you have to zoom in quite a ways to get just the last 2 points at the end of the curve:
Then I selected these points here - that's the end point and first inside point of each curve:
Then to true these up so the curves are smooth to one another, those should all be on one single straight line, to do that I grabbed the corner of the edit frame and moved it over until I got "flat" snap:
Hope that helps explain the tuneup!
Probably at some point in the future MoI will do something like this automatically to fix up curves that are close to being tangent to one another but just a couple of degrees off. I haven't done that quite yet because it's a little bit hard to judge how much of a change should be permitted.
- Michael
