I remember someone had a solution for poor water flow from kitchen sink despite the fact that water pressure elsewhere was fine. In my case,the problem appears to be getting progressively worse. Thanks for any help. I did clean the faucet strainer to no avail.

Have you disassembled the faucet and checked the little plastic filter?
We had what appeared to be sawdust in ours. Had to run two tanks of water to finally clear it out.
 
I also found water flow to be poor at the sink. I cleaned out the filter and that helped. I then removed thefaucet head off the wand and found a very strong flow. I have not been able to take the head apart to see where the restriction might be. May need to buy a new head. For now the wife is happy so will leave it alone.

There is also a filter at the in line check valve. To access this you go into the cabinet under the sink and there is a set screw with a Phillips head holding the center supply line to the faucet body. You may need a mirror to locate the screw and then get your screwdriver up there by feel. Loosen the screw enough to be able to slip the hose connection off. This is an o-ring type connection. Once removed look in the opening and you will see a plastic fitting and possibly some plastic filings sitting in there. Clean that out and if that is the problem, that should help.
 
Check the archive. This has been discussed heavily more than once.
