I'm not sure what you mean, there is really only one "type" of JIT compiler,
that is the JIT compiler. However the runtime will provide a version that
generates code for each CPU it supports(compact device cpus, for example, or
IA64 & AA64 in coming versions). I don't know that I would consider those
types. I guess each different bitlength could be a type...could you be a bit
more specific?

ngen basically JIT's the code in a given assembly and caches the resuls. It
should speed up startup time, while possibly causing minimal runtime
performance degredation. Versions of the app change the exact footprint and
I'm no expert in them at any rate.
