Do I need to individually set up the email auto linking in a shared database, or is there a global setting that will apply to all users.
Furthermore should I avoid this feature because I have heard it affects performance.

If you go to Business Contact Manager -> Manage E-mail Auto-linking, you'll have an option to link all the emails of all your contacts.
From there, you can either click OK to have all future emails be linked to their contacts, or you can click Search and Link to link all of your existing emails (which is a time-consuming and processor-heavy task, but worth it, so you should probably do it overnight or over the weekend). After that, every time you make a new contact, you have to manually select them to be auto-linked, which you can do from the contact window.

My suggestion would be to try it, and if it does affect performance, then turn it off. I know that our company hasn't experienced any problems with email auto-linking, and it's a very convenient feature to have.
