I have the same problem at home. It is because the cold water pressure is slightly higher that the hot water pressure, although this does not make sense, but has been measured. Thus the cold water backs up into the hot water lines just a little very slowly. The longer you take between turning the water off and back on at the shower head the longer it will take to get warm again.
Has anyone tried installing check valves just below the shower faucet? That would keep the cold water in its place
