Compressed or uncompressed

I found that i get some errors like 

Could not find output property for formula:

And saw that file exists but inside DSF file - all was encrypted.

Encrypted (compressed) DSF slowdown DAZ or not?

And if Daz cant see these files i need to decrypt them?

dsf files are not encrypted, but they may be (and if isntalled through Connect will be) compressed. Whether compressions slows or speeds processing will depend on the balance between read speed (the compressed fiel is smaller) and processing speed (the compressed file has to be expanded in memory).

The warnings you cite are informational unless it's a link you set up yourself - they just mean there's a link between a property you have in your figue and oen you don't (for example, to link a corrective JCM/MCM for a shape you have to the property it is adjusting for, which you don't have). They should not account for significant slow-downs as far as I know (just a scan through the list of available properties to see if the target is there)compared to establishing the links where all participants are available).
