It uses internal algorithms I've never investigated myself; the idea is of course to reduce the one(s) that are "used less", that are less important for the instance performance given your workload.

Just to be able to provide a safety net in case the internal algorithms don't work for your workload. No one is perfect, so that gives you another opportunity to correct any problem that might happen.
