Processor sets allow some processes to bind to certain processors, in effect disabling the concept of symmetric multiprocessing. That has nothing to do with limiting CPU usage for some users. If you want to limit some users' CPU usage, put ulimit -t [some number] in their ~/.profile. But this can only limit client application CPU usage. The Oracle server side shadow processes all have owner oracle. Therefore, your suggestion of doing it at the OS level doesn't sound a good idea.
