In an interpreted programming language, you're basically feeding the source into the interpreter and it starts executing it... whereas in a compiled programming language (C/C++, Ada, etc.) you first need to create a binary for the OS to run it...

These are very different notions entirely, it doesn't make sense to compare the two in any way.
