With NTFS, you can compress folders and encrypt folders and files to stop unauthorized access of those files and folders. The compression feature works well, but compressed files take longer to open and resave. Basically, avoid compressing drives if you want to squeeze as much speed as possible from your system. You can decide to compress a drive or not by accessing the disk's properties and clicking 'Compress drive to save disk space' check box on the General tab.
Encryption will also reduce performance in terms of opening files. After all, the encryption process has to make sure that you are authorized to view the file. The general rule to follow here is to encrypt files or folders that are necessary, but don't get in the habit of encrypting everything. Encryption is a good safety measure and it has its place, but use it judiciously.
