It may be that your "flapper" valve should be replaced. That's the rubber thing that covers the outlet hole at the bottom of the tank. If it leaks, the water will take a long time to re-fill the tank. If it closes too soon... not all of the water in the tank will flow through to flush the bowl. It only costs about 3$ - 5$ at a hardware store... ask them to help!
