Naive assumption.

That forced it to remove any 'free' space from the table and rebuild the indexes. OPTIMIZE TABLE would have done the same thing (in a different way).

MyISAM or InnoDB?

On MyISAM tables, statistics can atrophy over time. ANALYZE TABLE can solve that. (OPTIMIZE does that, but does more stuff.) ANALYZE reads the entire table.

On InnoDB tables, the "8 random dives" sometimes comes up with poor statistics. ANALYZE TABLE can _temporarily_ fix that. There is no permanent fix. ANALYZE does 8 dives, so it is quite fast.

STRAIGHT_JOIN, USE INDEX, and FORCE INDEX are brute force solutions that should be avoidable and should be avoided 99% of the time. The downside of them is that you are restricting the optimizer's choices. If the data changes over time; the choice you are pushing may no longer be the optimal one.
