+   By default, all containers get the same proportion of CPU cycles. This proportion
+can be modified by changing the container's CPU share weighting relative
+to the weighting of all other running containers.
+
+To modify the proportion from the default of 1024, use the **-c** or **--cpu-shares**
+flag to set the weighting to 2 or higher.
+
+The proportion will only apply when CPU-intensive processes are running.
+When tasks in one container are idle, other containers can use the
+left-over CPU time. The actual amount of CPU time will vary depending on
+the number of containers running on the system.
+
+For example, consider three containers, one has a cpu-share of 1024 and
+two others have a cpu-share setting of 512. When processes in all three
+containers attempt to use 100% of CPU, the first container would receive
+50% of the total CPU time. If you add a fouth container with a cpu-share
+of 1024, the first container only gets 33% of the CPU. The remaining containers
+receive 16.5%, 16.5% and 33% of the CPU.
+
+On a multi-core system, the shares of CPU time are distributed over all CPU
+cores. Even if a container is limited to less than 100% of CPU time, it can
+use 100% of each individual CPU core.
+
+For example, consider a system with more than three cores. If you start one
+container **{C0}** with **-c=512** running one process, and another container
+**{C1}** with **-c=1024** running two processes, this can result in the following
+division of CPU shares:
