KA24DE in Altima - do they always crank slow?

Got my new to me 99 Altima. Seems like the engine cranks over slow, but still fires right up and the lights don't dim much while cranking. Normal for this engine?

@yz100f I'm up to 144k miles on mine, original alternator. Changed the water pump, belts, hoses, thermostat, plugs, wires, cap, rotor in January (all were original). It was pretty badly neglected before I got it.
