ngen is mostly a bad idea outside of a web app but frequently a very, very
bad idea within the confines of the an asp.net application.
Here is why:
NGEN cannot make any assumptions for optimization for the run-time
environment than that of the JIT because the JIT is actually running in the
context of the execution environment. That alone causes NGEN to produce
sub-optimized code, if not inefficient.
Secondly, strongly named assemblies derive absolutely no benefit from NGEN
since NGEN makes an assumption on domain neutrality only for mscorlib.
Strongly named assemblies are always loaded domain neutral so the NGEN'd
file is never used to begin with.
I'd recommend instead that the startup code be streamlined to run lean and
mean reducing start up times. For instance, I sincerely doubt that JIT'ing
is responsible for this delay solely. Maybe the application is attempting to
acquire resources or initializing structures which may be contributing
heavily to this delay. Without inspecting the start up times, it is unfair
to blame it on the JIT.
