For the record I tried this and it didn't work for me. The resulting 
assembly uses StrongBox (from memory) and possibly other features not 
available in CoreCLR.

I would also love to see a solution to this as import time is a big 
factor in the startup of IronPython Silverlight apps and pre-compiled 
assemblies would help a lot.

All the best,

Michael
