Saving phone battery power (JIT was done on the phone every time an app started) and using green energy no less!
"With the new code generation approach in Windows Phone 8, apps are compiled in the Windows Phone Store with AC power generated from the Columbia River in Washington. That’s a better battery to use than yours! As you can see, we’ve removed an entire category of battery use on end-user devices."
- randomfool 14y agoThis feature seems like such a no-brainer. Ngen (Native Generation, .NET's precompilation) has been around for years.
- contextfree 14y agoThis isn't NGEN (it's a similar concept of course, but the tools and details are different).
- pjmlp 14y agoThis is different, because NGEN can only be used with strong name assemblies that get deployed to the GAC. This feature on the other hand, means that you already get a native compiled executable, compiled with much better optimization algorithms than what NGEN offers.
