I'm inexperienced in such a phenomenon but I guess it is caused
by the timer processes (which mm-url.el uses) or the asynchronous
operations of the url ELisp package.  Unfortunately, I'm not
familiar with those any.

I have no idea, sorry.  Anyway, I've ticked this thread.  I'll
inform whatever I notice.

BTW, I am, so to speak, a new nnrss user and need to gain
experiences.  Now I'm trying it only in the office (behind the
proxy server), but I will have to do it in home (no proxy) as
