摘      要：A technique for reducing the size of .NET executables without using native code or otherwise modifying the portable executable (PE) format is discussed. It is pointed that smaller executables load faster due to fewer disk accesses. The benefits of size reduction include the reduced requirement of the disk space and also using compression combined with in-memory encryption/decryption makes it harder to disassemble. Experts points that the technique does not affect the usual development of .NET applications.
