Keep in mind that the following will not take 5 minutes,
"some.slow.procedure" might take a long time to complete:

repeat 5 [
some.slow.procedure
wait 3600
]

however 

repeat 5 [
launch [some.slow.procedure]
wait 3600
]

does not work either in all cases because 
"some.slow.procedure" might take more than 1 minute
to complete, if that's the case then you'll have
multiple "some.slow.procedure"s running in parallel
