How is your battery? Noticed over the years that a weak battery can cause slow starts with longer than normal cranking times. Apparently the voltage to the fuel pump gets low enough it can not develop enough pressure to start right away. Try turning on the key for a few seconds a couple times before cranking the engine. This runs the fuel pump for a second or two every time the key is turned to run, and hopefully gets some pressure built up. The pump needs something like 8 Volts to operate properly.
