It would be fantastic if there were some built in method to compile all of the ASP.NET code. This would prevent updating from being so painful. As it stands, every time I update NPM or any other software the website operates painfully slow due to CSC.exe execution every time I load a page. There is some detail on how to fix this here:

Case Study 2 seems to apply in this situation, otherwise CSC.exe would batch compile all of the files the first time you attempt to load the site. The website seems to operate a bit slowly anyway (though that could be my server), so the additional loading time of the dynamic compilation is pretty obnoxious.
That information is fairly old but I am betting the issue I am describing would likely be solved in the same fashion as recommended there.
Also, this should apply to all products that are served via a website. Modern servers have enough CPU cores that this can be done in the background immediately after installation/voiding the old cache of compiled pages.
