Start by cleaning the battery terminals and double-check the connections on both cables; put some dielectric grease on the battery terminals. You may want to consider getting a new, heavier-gauge negative battery cable. If no improvement, you can do a voltage draw test on the starter to see if it's going out which would account for the slow start. I would also have the battery voltage checked; 'new' batteries can be bad.
