Large number of active sessions

Hi!

I've got a website with pretty low traffic (200 visitors a day). Lately it's
been very slow and when I look in Tomcat's manager it says that it has a lot
of sessions.
Once I had 13000(!) active sessions. The session timeout is set to 30
minutes.

How can this happen? Isn't this something that Tomcat should handle itself?
Can it be related to my code somehow? I have only basic JSP/Servlet stuff so
nothing fancy going on.

Any help would be very appreciated!
