Is hedgewars graphically intensive?

How demanding are the hedgewars graphics on the video hardware? My video card's temperature goes to 95C within minutes of playtime, and I'm guessing it's a hardware issue rather than the game being very demanding, but I'd like a confirmation on the later 
It uses rather large textures, but very very few cards should reach 95C under HEAVY load (think crysis), so it's a hardware issue regardless.
As a matter of fact, 95ºC is within normal range for certain cards, such as Ati 9600/9800 XT and a few high-end Nvidia. You should check your card's manual.
I wouldn't call it normal. It's not a dangerous level, under full load, on a very very high end card. But it would concern me if my card was reaching that temperature under any circumstances, let alone running hedgewars
Set FPS limit to 100 or even lower in options
