There is an inhibitor which allows the engine a few revolutions before it fires, this is to protect and allow some of the oil to flow before the engine kicks off.

Not taking about the length of time till the car starts. Refering to the speed that the starter turns the engine over.

A bad starter or battery or the large cable in between or all of them cause slow cranking.

On the other side the compression could also have magically increased!
