Description:
        The /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_shares tunable is used
        to set the cpu bandwidth a user is allowed. This is a
        proportional 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
