5Description:
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		proportional 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
