Water heater capacity?

I have a gas heated water heater in my house. I find that, when taking a shower, the hot water run out within about five minutes. Sometimes less, it seems. Barely enough time to take a shower. Forget about two people taking a shower in the morning (say a kid going to school and someone going to work)
The water heater is 40 gallons, and we have good water pressure. It's fairly new.

Is this considered a small, low capacity water heater? Average size?
