I have been looking into ways to divide my CPU amongst KVM guests other than by just setting vCPU access limits. I understand the concept of cpu_shares which can be set/displayed with virsh schedinfo

Looking at the man page, I know what the acceptable input values are but could somebody please explain in simple terms what these two parameters actually do?
