WEP is such weak encryption that you won't notice it, but yes, WEP does slow down throughput on a wireless network.
You'll see bigger performance hits due to shoddy hardware, though. If you want to see some real performance hits, set up IPSec encryption or a VPN. Nothing like making your CPU encrypt all packets to slow things down a little.
