What is the JIT? What is NGEN? What are limitations and benefits of each?

Just In Time Compiler compiles the code just before it is run.
Due to this the code takes longer time to start however it is more efficient compilation since the compiler has more information about the target system.

NGen is used to pre-just in time code which yields faster startup time but the compiler produces less efficient code because it has less information.
