That's how it works.  The JIT compiler turns the IL into machine code at runtime.  You can use Ngen.exe to do it earlier. That can only be done on the target machine.

"You can use Ngen.exe to do it earlier."

I think he means:

"You can use Ngen.exe to compile your application to binary code before running it."
