Hi all,

Can anyone tell me drawbacks of precompilation using ngen over jit
compilation apart from that it generate native code for complete il
code?

thanks in advance

I'm running an AMD 64 bit dual core, while my old laptop has a 32 bit
Intel. I'm not sure just how aggressively JIT can target different
hardware platforms, but it does at least attempt to optimize the code
for the system it's running on.

There are some optimizations that ngen cannot perform. One thing that
comes to mind is method inlining.
