A large inventory is going to eventually cause you major problems, so here are some tips to help you control your inventory, and have a smoother SL ride.
Excess inventory causes lag!
Why is this, you ask? Because every item in your inventory is a line in the database. The more inventory you have, the longer it will take your inventory to load, and finding and retrieving things can literally cause lag for you and other people on the same sim as you. You may also experience inventory loss if the database can't find what what you're after.
The best way to prevent loss and lag associated with inventory is to keep your inventory clean. Dedicate about 30 minutes each sl session to cleaning out inventory. you can do it while you're standing around, camping, waiting on people, etc. It's fairly easy to do.
