It took forever to get hot water in our master bath, so we added a recirculating pump on the hot water line with a crossover connection between the hot and cold on one of the sinks in the bathroom (at the point furthest from the water heater).  When the water in the hot water line at the crossover cools enough, a valve opens allowing the pump to push the cooled warm water into the cold water line moving hot water up from the tank.  It works great for getting hot water fast.  The only downside is that you may need to run the cold for a while if you want really want cold water.  We tend to unplug the recirculating pump in the summer when we more often want cold from the faucets quickly.

The pump itself is pretty small in goes on the line coming out of the water heater in the basement.  It also has a timer built in so it can be set to run only for certain hours.  We tend to run it in the morning and around bed time when most showers are taken.
