I'm not familiar with this 2.5 sessions, anyways. If you follow the DMG recommendations for encounter building and adventuring, levels 1 and 2 are fast, 3 and 4 slow down, 5 5through 16 are slow, and 17 to 20 speed up again (if all experience comes from fights and you use repetitive patterns in encounter design based upon level). I have used milestone advancement for decades longer than we had the term.  I design things so that new abilities arrive to freshen things up once they've played with established features for a while.  It works, and it tends to result in faster advancement per game hour if you play rarely and slower per hour if you play often.</blockquote>
