Normally C++ is compiled to run but Python is interpreted. Is it compiled under ROS?

When you run a python node, then ROS just runs the python script. it's the same as if you were to run it in the command line:

> ./my_node.py

So no, ROS does not compile anything. If you want to use cython, you can have a look here: https://github.com/marcoesposito1988/...

I did not try it myself.

Thanks for the clarification! The speed probably isn't an issue with today's machines.
