Default Boxster ignition problem

After sitting for long periods (over night or workday) my boxster is getting progressively harder to start.

Here are the symptoms:
-turn key and nothing but dash lights. No "clicking" or starter noises.
-repeated key turns are ineffective.

After about 3-6 tries the starter finally cranks and has plenty of juice to start the engine. Once started it will start normally while it is warm after sitting idle for shorter periods of time. It starts easily even after running for so much as a one minute warm up. The battery is trusted as I replaced it this past spring.

Ideas?
