ngen.exe in Process Explorer

Sometimes, out of the blue, my Laptop starts using up to 60% CPU for a while, 15 min or so or more. It turns out, that there is a process called ngen.exe which keeps starting and stopping.

This is only visible with Process Explorer though. The regular Task Manager does not show this phenomena, it just shows 60% CPU usage.

I found a "solution" to the problem here, but I also heard that disabling ngen is a "extremly bad idea".

Any ideas, why it is a bad idea?
