Hot Start Problem

Hello all,
I recently installed a new fuel pump. The car has run fine the last week,
but does have a strange hot start problem.
If I drive to town, the engine warm, then park and shut off the engine for
5-6 minutes, then the car starts right up as it should!
Then, if I drive to town, the engine warm, then park and shut off the engine
for 10 minutes + , then the car is very hard to start. I have to crank it at
least 3 or 4 times before it fires up!
Does anyone have any idea to what causes this?
I would guess that if I really had a serious hot start problem (fuel
accumulator problem), then it wouldn't even start when I parked on short
times or start at all. Point is, eventually I do get it started its just
very slow. I thinking of fuel pressure. Ideas anyone? Since the fuel pump is
new, I also doubt that it can be a leaking check valve.
Best wishes
