IIRC the .NET Native literature says the main benefits are reducing RAM by a fair amount. Which makes sense - no runtime to load type info and no JIT to run. AF

IIRC the .NET Native literature says the main benefits are reducing RAM by a fair amount. Which makes sense - no runtime to load type info and no JIT to run. AFAIK, they aren't claiming the compiled code is _that_ much better than what the JIT does. Of course it's probable that reducing RAM footprint significantly might improve runtimes if it makes better use of cache.
