Mycroft slow at start

I’m new to mycroft and installed it over a Linux Debian VM. Evertime I restart mycroft it responds slow to commands. It recognizes the wake up word hey mycroft quickly mostly under a second but after that it takes like 3-5 seconds to play the listening tone. This improves after a couple hours by its own and then it plays the tone just after it recognized the wake up word and quickly answers my questions. I’m doing nothing in the meantime and this happens every single time. I couldn’t find something particular in the logs. Attached the part from voice logs. You can see it waited almost 5 seconds after it detected wake word. What could be the reason? Do you have any idea?
