Sorry Chad,

I don't understand what you're doing.  Is it like the AOT (Ahead Of Time
compiler)? If so, I know that this function works in the mono compiler.
I never use it because, when you use the AOT option to compile a program, the 
metadata are stored the usual way, but the native code for all the functions
is also included in the final binary, so the size grows.

Ok, you can save the startup time the JIT compiler, but it is generally fast 
and called only once per each method, do I don't know how much performance 
improvement you get.
