Here's the deal and no it isn't a crisis as far as an emergency, but
it will eventually have a greater affect on my water usage, which of
course affects the bill. Let me see if I can explain the problem as
concisely as best I can.

Our veryold toilet does same thing. I've been told that lime buildup on the
inside of the bowl and trap can make it rough surfaced and thus slow the flow.

Hey TOm, that is what I initially thought, but no leak in the tank at
all. There is something in the trap, which I will snake again, but if
that yields nothing, it will be likely a defect the plumber was
telling me about. However, if I can adjust the water etc. to keep it
going, I'll keep i
