Some drivers require that maintenance action be performed regular. The FileSystem and SQLite drivers, as an example, need to remove old data as they can't do it automatically. These operations are all abstracted away behind Pool->purge() but will need to be called regularly by the integrating applications.
The Pool->purge() function should be called as a stand alone operation. Depending on the Driver being used this can take longer than your typical action and should not be tied to a user request. It is also recommended that this be run from a command line where possible, such as in an automated cron job, in order to improve performance.
WP Stash does not currently do this, which probably bloats cache pools that do not invalidate automatically . This might add to problems when clearing the entire cache as described in #8
