Automatic Maintenance

Just had a few simple questions concerning "Automatic Maintenance."

I have this set, and it is set to run daily at 3:00am. Sometimes, (on days off) I start this maintenance before the scheduled time. Anyways, here are my questions.

1. What does the maintenance actually do?

2. Is it supposed to download, and install windows updates? (I thought it was supposed to, but I just finished running it, and manually did these things. Not sure if maintenance would have done it.

3. How long is this process supposed to usually take? Right now, my computer has hardly anything on it, and is only three days old, can't be optimizing that much stuff.

Thanks for the answers guys, I greatly appreciate your answers.
