I believe a later software update for the Nexus 6 sped up encryption considerably.

How do I check if encryption is turned on for a Nexus 6?

If an Android device has encrypted storage, it has to ask you for the decryption password before it will boot (ie BEFORE you get to a lock screen). If it doesn't, then it's not encrypted.
