Microsoft Native Image Generator (NGen) – on some machines NGen did use all of the computers memory

  When NGen did go crazy like this Microsoft Support suggested to delete the registry key

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft \.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\NGenService\Roots

and its decendants

That fixed the issue but it remained mysterious why this was happening and what exactly did break when you delete the registry key NGen will build up its Ngen root dll cache automatically and inside the registry keys was no obvious garbage data visible and the issue remained mysterious
