This. If the front derailleur cage is not parallel, specifically closer to the frame at the rear than the front, then the shifting impetus is not as firm as it should be, which results in the chain having to "climb" over the big ring, which sometimes takes a couple of revolutions to catch. A real easy adjustment to make as well.
