To double the relative share just so that your own math gets easier
sounds pretty weird.
And you're wrong about how it works. For most installations, CPU
resources go to the users with the highest effective share. Only when
they don't want any more, it goes to the next ones. Your best bet is
to keep the share settings mostly in line with what the users need and
don't try to do politics with it. See

The 1500 and 3000 as defaults are wrong. Don't follow that example.
