FQL supports a LIMIT, just like regular SQL. You may try that. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/performance

Otherwise, I suggest getting the friend IDs for each user, storing those in a SQL table, then performing your own join to get the crossover. You may be able to just get the friends lists once and then subscribe to realtime updates to keep your lists up to date. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api/realtime
