BOINC does that in the background, just as it recalculates every 10 seconds which projects/tasks are eligible to run next. But you don't see that. You only see that by enabling the debug flags.
You have work_fetch_debug on. Turn it off and those message go away. Using the debug flag costs more CPU than allowing it to do those processes unprinted in the background.

Wrong comparison, as to show that your gauge is still full, a floater floats on top of the gasoline in the tank. It measures constantly how much gasoline is still in the tank.

Same thing with BOINC doing calculations in the background on how much work there still is and which projects are next eligible to be asked work for. Because when else do you want BOINC to do that? Don't say when the cache is empty because if BOINC is not allowed to do these calculations in the background it never knows if something is needed or not.
