the Session Timeout is set to 900 by default, that means 15 minutes... some a visitor will stick in the WOL for 15 minutes after its last action. you can cut this value to lower, counting 60 for a minute... i personally set it to 90 seconds because i have a high activity range on my forums and i want people to really show only if they are online...
some sites have it set to way higher, like 12 hours (43200) so the site looks full of members online, but this is not good for the database neither for the real stats.
