Depending on how you are using it, that’s probably normal. The iPad has an internal temperature monitor, and if it gets too hot it will first try to manage the temperature by dimming the screen, then slowing down the processor. If it gets dangerously hot (to the iPad, not you) it will shut down to cool off, but this usually means it has a hardware problem.
