Default Are Bell Pepper Seeds Slow To Germinate?

Ten days ago I planted eight Big Bertha bell pepper seeds in peat
pellets. I have them in small plastic cups which I placed in a zip lock
bag along with a damp piece of sponge. They are also on top of a
germination heat mat. So far, I only see 2 seeds that are germinating
and just showing through the peat pellets. Is this length of time
common for bell pepper seeds?

3 weeks to germination isn't unusual in my germinator tray with heat pad
and grow lights.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
