Hot key syndrome

My key in the ignition switch is getting quite hot after a longish drive, is it time to install a relay to drastically reduce the current flow through the ignition switch?

I did this upgrade recently. I wasn't getting a hot key but now I get a nice warm feeling from not running all that current through the somewhat delicate ignition switch.

Just received my relays (incl a spare) in readiness for my upgrade.

Mine will be with me tomorrow - 40A 14VDC - Amazon (also a pair of them).
