I have not get my 2ss yet. I can't test it. But I think if you unlocked the door and let it sit for 5-10 seconds before you hit the Start Engine button. Maybe it will improve the crank time.
Priming is different than pressurizing, I imagine, though I'm not a direct-injection engineer.

This car has an electric fuel pump in the tank to pressurize the feed lines and probably prime the main pump. Then the main pump is driven off of the camshaft with a three-lobe cam which produces the high pressures for the system.
