Home Water Heater >>> low water pressure

Anyone plumbing wizards out there??
I've always felt our shower at home has pathetically low flow. Finally took the time to check it. Took at 2-1/2 gallon bucket and a stopwatch. Set temp at normal shower temp and caught the water for 1 minute. Only 1-1/2 gallons! Then a 100% cold sample showed 2-1/2 gal, and a full hot sample just over 1 gallon.
Could be crud in the pipes, but seems odd that the cold is OK. Also a test at a basement sink very near the water heater got same results.
QUESTION-- Is this a common indicator that it's time to replace the water heater? Would that cause the low hot water flow?
