Seconded! I insulated the hot water pipes in our home (which run through the crawl space) and they made a significant difference* in time to hot water at the faucet. Even the first thing in the morning hot water arrives at the tap much more quickly than before. I suspect this would be the simplest and cheapest way to fix this problem.
* Unfortunately I didn't measure the difference, but it was very noticeable.
FWIW,
