Could be; but if it is getting noticeably worse over time, I might suspect
that the bonded rubber drive is slipping.

Of course that is assuming you are talking about the first press of the
starter button.  If it starts to crank and then kicks out, you have to wait
for the drive to stop spinning before it will engage again.  Frustrating as
all get out in cold weather, when the engine will frequently fire but not
start.
