Some more timing information needed Shadi. If you flip it from reverse to drive and plant your foot then it will take a moment for the gears to change and power to be applied. Separate out the actions - is it slow to change from reverse into forwards or, if you engage drive from neutral, wait a moment and then plant your foot, is it slow to respond to the accelerator? *
* no V8 jokes from the peanut gallery please, I asked him about a response, not acceleration rate

If it does it both warm and cold then its less likely to be low fluid, and more likely to be a mechanical problem (gbox stuffed, torque converter stuffed).
