Opening links in a new window - good/bad SEO?

I have the knack of using the target="_blank" option on all my links, whether they be to external sites, or to pages within my site.

The more I got to thinking about it, the more I wondered if this was the right course of method. My first thought was "well, I want them to stay at the original page they were viewing" but then I wondered if by doing so, it reduces the time on site per user average.

What is your take?
