I haven't bothered tracking XP for more than a session or two in my last four or five long campaigns, and I've never missed it in the least no matter what system I'm in (primarily D&D of various editions).
Instead, I prefer to give them levels in rhythm with the pace of the narrative; they come quicker when the sessions are packed with plot-heavy climaxes, and slower when we take a few off for some sidequest. It's less bookkeeping for the players, better narrative control for me, and I really can't even begin to see wanting to do things differently.
