2006 996 doesn't crank on 1st-2nd try

I have a 2006 996 that I bought in 2008 (9000 miles on it then) from a Porsche dealer. About 6 months after purchase the ignition switch let me remove the key while it was running. The dealer replaced the switch and all was OK until about 3 months ago. I now have 23000 miles. Sometimes now the car will sound as if its going to crank but it won't. After about 2 attempts, I remove the key so all will reset and the car cranks. Happens when motor is cold or hot. No codes per my mechanic. He does say it is a little slow to crank. Sounds like the old days when there was a vacuum hose loose. Any ideas on the problem?
