Is it possible? I encrypted my note 4 on 6.0.1 and it's running like garbage. Is there anyway to unencrypt it? It was working way better before I chose to do so.

I'm assuming something I'm going to have to live with?

On my LG G3 with 6.0.1 the option to decrypt is available right where I encrypted it. Settings -> Security -> Encryption, and Decrypt should be at the bottom.
 
I don't believe device encryption is reversible. I was only able to switch off "require secure password at device startup" - which was even more annoying than the lagginess caused by encryption - my phone would reboot abruptly about once a week when having trouble with a call and switching cell beacons - and then on reboot I would need to enter my long freakin' password. I switched that off, so now I only need the fingerprint (and still have a backup password in case my finger is greasy or sweaty or whatever.

BTW - set up fingers/thumbs on either hand to unlock your phone!
