I'm curious about what is going on while .NET is "optimizing"?

I haven't seen something like that, my laptop is AMD though? (I write .net code) Unsure how much of a difference that makes.

I like .Net, it's not without it's issues, I think the same is true with Java, having been the administrator for some Java servers in the past, I've seen plenty of Java issues that seemed crazy ~ but I think we're talking about how great things are now, maybe, while saying it doesn't matter because how bad the legacy tech is?

It's compiling interpreted code into machine code that's specific to the processor it's running on.

Without this step it can still run but being interpreted it runs slower.
