 We recently found that the Django session table, in a particular project
 setup, was not regularly cleaned. When we tried to do this manually
 (excluding recent entries), the select/delete action took like forever.

 This was because there is no index defined on the "expire_date" field in
 the Session model and thus any action with a WHERE-clause on that field
 takes much longer than needed. Ruby had the same problem (long ago) and
 added an index on the expire_date field and I think Django should just do
 the same.

 Kudos to Frodo from Medid for noticing this.
