First of all, you are using undocumented functionality, which is not
supported (ev::default_loop) nor maintained.

Second, you initialise the timer to be invoked "0." seconds after start, and
then every 5 seconds afterwards, so that seems to match what you are getting.

Does it work like you expect if you swap the arguments of start to "(5, 0)"?
