Thanks all for the suggestions. I decided to take the spray head apart.
It was really full of junk, looked like ground up rubber washers.
Surprising since there was a good screen at the end of the attached hose.
Cleaned it out and we have lottsa pressure now.

to determine how successful you are, write down how many seconds does
it take to get a gallon of hot? cold? warm?

you could open up the fixture and flush out the fixture, flush out the
debris in stop valves below by opening and closing them with the water
running thru them.

here's a trick i used once:
if debris is blocking the sink hot, block the sink aerator, close
supply to water heater, open hot at the basement washtub, open the
fixture to full warm, and backflush the cold thru to basement washtub.
no improvement? swap instructions and backflush other line.
no improvement?
find all valve stops between main and the problem sink. remove and
replace debris inside and replace their broken and disintegrated rubber
washers blocking the line.
if you are still using old galvanized silver colored pipes, the
reduction of the inside diameter causing a restriction in flow is a
regular battle until replacement.
