Starter Motor & Door Switches

Hi Questions for you all

The engine on the De turns over fairly slowly but starts, just.
Apparently it always has turned slowly, I got the battery checked and 
it was o/k but I charged it up anyway. Tried it the next day and the 
crank speed was a bit higher and started a little easier.

I had already cleaned the earthing points to make sure they were o/k.

I have measured the battery at the battery whilst cranking and it is 
about 9.53 volts approx, However when you measure between the engine 
and the jump start point the voltage is about 6.5 Volts.

The question is, is it worth running another dedicated Positive and 
negative lead direct to the starter to minimize the apparent volt 
drop has anyone done this already? and does it make a difference?

The second question is the drivers door has 2 switches, one operates 
the door lights what is the other supposed to do?

Thanks
