I'm not sure what you're getting at here. The number of users are irrelevant to the classes. You should only use shared/classes if the classes have to be shared across web apps. Although this is not usually advised as it is good practice to keep web apps self contained.
WEB-INF/classes would take precedence over shared/classes but I still don't see what you are trying to achieve. My understanding (I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong) of the shared is that each class will be loaded into the classloader of each webapp so no memory would be saved, if you chose to use this area for sharing classes accross webapps. If you wanted to save memory then the common/classes is where you should put your classes. This will only classload 1 copy of the class.

Will that give better memory usage? Also, can I later add the classes that are different directly to WEB-INF/classes and will they be given priority?
