You said it was getting colder, how old and what shape is your battery in?

Mine is starting noticeably longer now that winter is here, my battery is kind of marginal. Some of it is how fast the starter turns over.
One quick way to test, is hook up a set of jumpers and use two batteries, if it starts noticeably quicker, the battery could be questionable.
I've found putting the biggest quality battery in the tray, that clears the radiator hose and doesn't hit the hood latch mech. helps. I fab my own holddown.
Battery volts is only part of it, the only real way to test a battery is with a load tester and then again with a hydrometer (after it's been sitting over night).

Bad battery or weak starter, the renix needs to turn pretty fast to start.
