The key point is to remove 'stun' effect and launch application
faster with minimum budget. Option 5 can be taken only if all 1-4
cannot solve the two problems.

Get a second machine and migrate some of the users to it. 8 users
running X11 on a single PC at once is a bit much, IMO.

BTW, the reason for 'stun' effect I cannot understand. Why the
machine 'stun'? When a user load a 500KB webpage, she is expecting to
way a bit longer, she should wait for other users, she should get no
more then 60% CPU resource and keep other people's console still
usable but only slower.

i suspect that this is caused by resource locking issues in the shared
libraries. i notice that when my g/f and i are both logged in to my
machine (running 2 KDE sessions), apps like kmail seem to take notably
longer to do anything at all. My *suspicion* (not backed up
technically) is that it's a shared resource bottleneck somewhere in the
KDE libs.

I am afraid the system resource is not
assigned in a fair way.

It's not - 8 X11 sessions is too many, IMO.

I remember a long time ago I was sharing a
Sparc desktop (using gnome) with several other people and we never
had 'stun' problem, is sparc platform better on sharing?

Sparc is better at being "smooth" about concurrent logins, in my
experience. e.g., a Sparc with 400MHz can out-perform a typical 1GHz PC
when it comes to disk i/o.
