Rationale was that cache scrub would reduce number of items to iterate through later. However, if expiration hasn't been updated in "long" time eg. due to error or low traffic(HTTP Staus Code 304), then the whole cache gets invalidated which leads to excess flood.
One solution is to increase cache expiration(in other words one day is really low).
Another solution seems to be to switch order of execution, because prune_news() updates time of expiration. Therefore, it should prevent scrubbing of news which are still present in RSS feed. And it's also possible there is a bug somewhere in the code.
