As the trim motors get older you can get corrosion on the brush contact surfaces of the rotor. You can remove the end of the motor, clean up the surfaces (copper) with a wire brush or fine grit sandpaper and it will speed right back up.

Oil could also be getting old and on the thicker side. I blew a line on one last year and when I put fresh oil in, it was faster than the other side. Replaced the oil in that one and now both are pretty equal.
