OS startup? AOT compilation happens in the build pipeline, before the app is distributed.

AOT is unique because you want to compile it with all the capabilities your device has, so there still has to be some complication done, especially when you have processors that have brand new instructions to make operations significantly more efficient.

Wouldn't compilation during the build process be ROT? As in, "Right On Time" compilation? Build is where the compilation step is usually performed.
