NGen helps to reduce the start time of the application. Here's a blogpost from microsoft and a tutorial from devexpress: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/an-easy-solution-for-improving-app-launch-performance/ https://docs.devexpress.com/GeneralInformation/400286/build-deploy/reduce-application-...

One benefit of using dotnet is, that you can use a Performance Profiler...

They are payed ...
