Why is docking station hot?

Yes, this is normal and expected.
Both Thunderbolt and eSATA are high speed interfaces (10Gb/s and 6Gb/s, respectively). The ICs to handle these high speed signals can become very hot (temperatures as high as 200+ degree Fahrenheit or 90+ degree Celcius are allowed by the specifications) during operation.

Why is my iphone hot?
Your iPhone gets hot because the battery and other hardware inside generate heat whenever your phone is working, even if it's just charging. Your iPhone is designed to dissipate heat, but an old battery, too many apps running, and even direct sunlight can make your phone overheat.

Does a hot pc run slower?
Excessive heat lowers the electrical resistance of objects, therefore increasing the current. In addition, slowdown is a result of overheating. Components can shut down when overheated and the motherboard temperature sensor instructs hardware such as the hard drive and processor to slow down.
