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