6 The /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_shares tunable is used
7 to set the cpu bandwidth a user is allowed. This is a
8 propotional value. What that means is that if there
9 are two users logged in, each with an equal number of
10 shares, then they will get equal CPU bandwidth. Another
11 example would be, if User A has shares = 1024 and user
12 B has shares = 2048, User B will get twice the CPU
13 bandwidth user A will. For more details refer
