Have I got a lazy EWS?

I normally get in the car, put the key in the loop, almost instant click, starts on the first spark and away I go,

But i'v noticed quite a few times it's taken 5+ seconds before I hear the "click"

Is it just mine that does that?
or are all EWS units the same?

Is your chip in the key Craig? I found I was getting interference from the steel part of the key, wrapping them in a small bit of insulation tape sorts this. I always turn to ignition and let the fuel pump finish priming before I crank
