it should probably be
(= last-tick curr-tick) ; was (< last-tick curr-tick)
but anyway, I'm not sure if this whole idea is a good one, and trying it
out here had some unwanted side-effects that had me restart Emacs.
maybe try it out with the = (instead of <) and set (* 5 60) to (* 1 60)
so you only have to wait one minute...
if it does not work then, or wrecks havoc on you system, better omit
the whole thing.
