Meh, that's nothing.
I once kept my group at level 1 for about 13 sessions.
Of course, there was about 8 PCs, and they didn't really need to level up; but also, the fact that they had to split the xp 8 ways was partly why they leveled so slowly early on.
I didn't want to throw a lot of monsters at them and I was just getting the hang of DMing again with the 3.0/3.5 rules.
That campaign lasted till about level 7 and took well over a year and a half of weekly playing.
When I start that game up again (seriously, we have too many campaigns that are well run all running at the same time) I'll simply move the plot along 5-10 years and have the players make new 5th lvl characters that have to do missions for their old characters who run this tradecity-fortress on the seashore.
