It is passing 100+ amps thru it. The longer you run it, the hotter it can become. Clean the ground where it mounts, make sure the wires going to it and away from it have clean connections, and that the wires are in good shape.

Also keep in mind if the starter itself is starting to go south? That will cause it to draw far more current then it should. If you have an advance auto or some such parts store with a battery/alternator/starter checking device (good ol' VAT40 would be outstanding for this) They could tell you exactly how much the starter circuit is pulling.
