Compiling (JIT and reverse)

[Alex]

Hi,

I have read in quite a few places that it is possible to reverse compile an
asp.net app. I'm not interested in finding out how to do this, what I am
interested in is finding out how to prevent it (assuming it is possible in
the first place)
From what I have read you can reverse compile a program that is in MSIL,
although apparently you can employ another compiler to compile your app so
that it is impossible to reverse compile.
can anybody tell me if this is correct and shed any more light on this area
for me/ point me to articles of interest on the subject.

I am especially intrigued to find an answer for this question...

will compiling my project to an extra stage (assuming this is possible) get
rid of the performance lag assosiated with the first hit on my application
and the lesser performance lags assosiated with the first hit on every page.

cheers

Alex.
