what could cause slower response to Alfred Hotkey?

For some reason, Alfred seems like it is taking longer to appear when I press the Alfred Hotkey.

 

It's not really long, but it's longer, which I know because I'll press the hotkey, then I'll start typing, but the first few letters don't get into Alfred.

 

I'm not sure what to do to diagnose what might be the cause.
