Sluggish starting....advice please

I had my '91 in for top and upholstery change and coincidentally, after I got it back it starts with slower, weaker cranks. Battery indicator show strong when running and on start-up.
New Optima battery last year.
New ignition switch last June 06
Rebuilt starter last October.
Rewired starter system last October too.
Since then strong quick cranks.

It still starts now but cranks are weaker (3-5 turns), and feels like if taxed, may not have enough to start.

Connections, relay loose?
