R22 start-up question.

According to the R22 POH, when you start the engine and put in the clutch, the rotors should start turning within 6 seconds. What would cause them to take a few seconds longer than this...and should I be worrying about it? I've been told it's not a problem, but I'm turning into a deeply suspicious helicopter pilot who worries about...absolutely everything.
