Does NGEN improve performance?

The Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) tool creates native binary images (files containing compiled processor-specific machine code) for assemblies. This improves CodeRush performance because it produces and installs binary images in the native image cache on the local computer.

What does NGEN update do?

What happens when you compile C # in Ngen?

When you compile your C# code, it gets compiled into an IL assembly. And NGEN takes IL assembly as an input and installs the assembly and its dependencies into Native Image Cache. This would install your exe and its dependency dll files into the Native Image Cache. You use the filename to the assembly here.
