What is the proposed idea/solution?

A new View Type that "freezes" records filtered into it so that its data, including formulas and perhaps other dynamic fields, no longer update but provide a snapshot of the record at the time it was "frozen". Records in the view can get ignored by API queries making automation and actions faster too.

How does is solve the user problems?
  1. Improves Base performance because the system doesn't needs to constantly update formulas or check dynamical filtering conditions on records that are not in use.
  2. Reports can still be generated on this data without needing to copy the data from dynamic fields to text only duplicates of the field or duplicating entire records to another Archive/Reporting table or external source.
Who is the target audience?

Enterprise customers and users with large datasets.
