changing dimmer to normal switcher

hello,
reference to above ie changing from dimmers to switches to enable me use energy saving bulbs- when i switch my lights on, one of the lights comes on instantly.however the other one takes a second or two before coming on. is this something to worry about or is this normal.
i thought they should both come on instantly.
all the other switches are working fine.

I have energy saving bulb in our bedroom and it does take about 2 seconds to come on and then it's quite dull for about 20 seconds afer until it warms up, think this is pretty normal.

This behaviour is common with some energy saving bulbs.
But you could try swapping the bulbs over and seeing if they behave the same way.
