+What:           /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_shares

+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
+                Documentation/sched-design-CFS.txt
