Slow starting

1993 turbo convertible, T5 conversion, 230k.
I've got a slow-starting-when-warm issue. I keep the car on a battery tender. When I first take it out, it starts fine. I drive around, park, run an errand, and then I will have a slow-cranking start (but it does start). I suspected the alternator might not be doing its job of charging the battery as well it it should.
Tested voltage at battery after driving, with engine turned off - 12.68, which seems fine (i.e., alternator is charging it).
Tested voltage at battery with engine running - 13.4, which seems low, suggesting alternator is under-performing.
Have I got a dying alternator, or a bad VR?
Thanks,
Dan
