It is also vastly inefficient: varnish allows you to expire the entire
cache using a single command which takes not time at all to complete.
The portal_cache_settings option iterates over all objects in your site
and generates PURGE requests for all views of all objects. As you can
imagine that is a very, possibly extremely, slow operation.
