Poor driver side floor vent airflow

I have noticed that the airflow coming from the driver side floor vent is much less than the passenger side floor vent. My controls seem to be operating properly.
Anyone else notice this?
Is this normal?
If normal, has anyone tried to restrict the passenger pathway in order to force more air out the driver side?

Thanks

I noticed this as well in my 08. I haven't tried fixing it yet.

opening a rear window a crack makes a big difference; also a winter front over the grille gives a faster warmup.

How about you other owners - is your airflow out of the driver-side floor vent much less than the passenger side?
