Hi edwardlm2010,

Like what Mel_W said, The Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) is a tool that improves the performance of managed applications.

Here is an article about .NET Framework NGEN for your reference, if you want to understand Native Image Generator tool deeply, it should be useful for you.

According to Microsoft

The Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) is a tool that improves the performance of managed applications. Ngen.exe creates native images, which are files containing compiled processor-specific machine code, and installs them into the native image cache on the local computer. The runtime can use native images from the cache instead of using the just-in-time (JIT) compiler to compile the original assembly.
