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.
