Default Does the hub run hot?

This question really got me to thinking. When I pulled my TM home the first time, I stopped about 90 miles down the road and felt the hubs (the unit had been sitting for most of 7 years -- who knows what shape the grease is in?) and found them very warm but I could keep my hand on them. How hot is "running hot?"

Thanks.
