Are .NET 2.0 EXEs faster than 1.1 EXEs?

[mb]

I was curious if the new .NET 2.0 has optimized things to make the EXEs run
faster? Thanks

MB,

How can that be for all Exes, when in a simple class someting is added, to
evaluate, than it will go slower and when there are some classes which exist
are only optimezed it will go faster.

The goal is if you can make faster programs with it, however that are in my
opinion always design question that you make, using newer possibilities from
2.0

Just my thought,

I would expect the CLR team to have improved things like the JIT and
the performance of some framework classes by the time 2.0 is released.
I wouldn't expect to see any performance increases in the beta though -
there may well be some extra debug code etc in there. (It might already
be faster in some places, of course.)

Of course, programs written to take advantage of .NET 2.0 features such
as generics may well be faster.
