Default toilet doesn't flush well

rich is correct. i had the same type of problem (sometimes ok, sometimes
not). the water passages would build up and I wouldn't get good waterflow.

check the small hole where the water comes in at the bottom of the bowl.

Calcium buildup in passages particularly the larger one at the bottom near
the drain hole. Use a bunch of pipe cleaners and some C.L.R. or any other
commercial calcium remover. Clear the hole and I'll betcha it'll flush
like new.

One of our toilets doesn't drain very well. If you take a crap and
wipe yourself a couple of times it sometimes backs up. I can plunge it
and clear it, but who wants to do that 2-3 times a month? I am on a
concrete slab.
