Why does my jailbroken iPod get so hot?

With my unbroken iPhone, the sudden heat was a case of the battery going to crap. My first phone stopped holding a charge and the second holds it not quite as well as it used to after a minor heat bump over a day or two.
There’s quite a few 3rd party apps that are processor heavy. If you use any of these for longer than 5 or 10 mins it could really get your CPU cooking.
Any specific apps in mind? I don’t want to harm my itouch’s battery life, which I already know isn’t that great.
Well, apps like VNSea would do it. What apps do you have? Tell me them and I’ll let you know.
Sometimes some apps secretly run in the background. Don’t install to many apps or at least not too many big ones
