Default Starting issues when warm

Hey friends. I have searched the threads and thought I found the discussion, but I can't find it again.
I have an ongoing issue with my starter when the engine has been running at normal operating temperatures. I never have an issue with starting a cold engine, but when the car is warm, she really cranks slowly. Sometime I wonder if she's going to fire. This is not a vapor lock or fuel problem, but it is with the starter. It only happens when I turn the car off for less than about 10 minutes: like, when refueling. After sitting for a while she cranks fine.

I read somewhere that it could be an overheating starter (?) or too small of a ground cable. I have ordered a ground strap to replace the cable, but I hate to start throwing things at her and hoping something sticks.
