Technically, yes, but for most situations, no. The requirement that ngen'ed assemblies must be in the GAC makes it very far from the "compile what you want to native" tool I'd like to see.

  ngen is also client-side, which makes for slow, complex installs, as opposed to simply running an executable.

  is it comparable with GCJ?
