Suggestion to alleviate Lag and earn cover the costs

Monger Lionheart
Excessive inventory lags users, regions and all of platform. Many users that are long time residents often have excessive inventories that lag the system down. Culling the old, throwing away something from 10 years ago is an option but why should a user throw any money away?
My suggestion: for an annual fee of @$20/year a user can buy an ALT to their account (Example: Monger Lionheart would get Monger Lionheart.alt). Since the same user name the user can transfer to inventory to their ALT. The ALT is a stationary item like a DESK/DRESSER/WARDROBE that they can rez and transfer their inventory to/from? Benefits: Users in SL would be lower in inventory and more efficient for the entire system. Small added FEE would cover additional memory required for Linden Labs BUT a much better user experience for all. Im sure the Number 1 reason people leave is poor performance?
Since the ALT account would in essence be a system Folder, the user should be able to move items to/from and make everyone's experience more pleasant.
Reasoning: My SL partner (Premium Plus, me also) lives in Australia (massive ping) and also a landscaper in SL with an inventory in excess of 414K items. I am constantly trying to come up with ideas to cull her inventory, update her system (including upgrading her pc and best possible net connection) and any maintenance utilities. BUT after nearly 20 years she is about to leave Second Life as the issues are overwhelming. This suggestion is for the many users in her situation and also a win win for Linden Labs.
Thank for your time and I hope this spurs a way to accomplish this task while still keeping inventory non transfer?

After discussions with a builder friend. This could just be an Achieved Folder that doesn't get loaded with the avatar bootup. If a user wants an old item they need to access via the archived folder and reboot to process the change

I'm unable to edit the post but in essence the ALT acct is a system folder that is accessed via a link (similar to caspervend). This way the inventory is offloaded from the acct and better for all
