My guess is the hard drive is failing. Enabling & disabling encryption makes a drive work very hard. Keep in mind this may only be revealing an existing fault and is not necessarily causing a hardware failure. Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected. Unfortunately the diagnostics don't detect many drive failures. While there may be other ways of checking the drive's health for certain Mac, you did not provide the exact model of the Mac to know if this is a possibility.
FYI, turning Filevault off rarely solves a performance issue and usually ends up causing more problems because it is impossible to run file system checks or data recovery apps on a drive that is in the process of encrypting or decrypting. I've only ever encountered one case and read about a couple of others online where Filevault for some reason has a fit and turning it off & back on resolves the problem, but this is extremely rare in my experience. If you suspect a problem with Filevault, most likely something else is the real source of the problem.
