When using hard drive encryption (on the workstation), significantly reduced Revit Server performance is experienced.
Interactions with Revit Server can lead to many read/write operations to the hard drive.
The disk encryption can increase the time required from a few milliseconds to a hundred or more.
With the number of operations required, this time adds up to a significant performance reduction.
Disable the drive encryption, and check if the Revit Server performance is improved.
Another option would be to try disabling disk encryption for just the %TMP% folder (this is where the files are initially downloaded and where the main performance hit would occur).
