When did the summer become 4 months?
You have about 40 weeks for the regular TV season, but most shows only do 20-24 episodes per season, that leaves 16-20 weeks where a new episode just ain't happening...

Because Clark needs time to debate if he'll tell Lana his secret. When he finally grows some balls and decides to tell her, something tragic happens and Clark changes his mind.
Repeat until you get dizzy. This has happened, oh, 8,349,999 times in the month since the last new episode aired.

Because the writers need time to develop new and interesting ideas. Like Clark screwing things up for the last time (again) with Lana only to have their breakup completely ignored in subsequent episodes. Ideas like that don't come easy. It takes time to sift through all the good possibilities so you can ignore them and rehash the same old crap over and over again.
ANd yet I still watch this show...

Smallville (and a lot of WB shows) basicly follow the standard college semester schedule. That's why there are big gaps in Decemeber (Christmas break) and March (Spring break) and why it ends in early May (Summer break).

June, July, August = 3 mos.
Last two weeks of May + first two weeks of Sept. = 1 mos.
3 + 1 = 4
