Description

wp-settings.php adds the following global groups to the cache object: users, userlogins and usermeta. This means, that all the userlogins are saved at the same spot for different wp-installations on one server resulting in a leakage. I think this setting only makes sense in wpmu, but not in normal wp, since user data isn't global across multiple wp-installations.

Many people share their user tables in WP and require global groups. Nothing is saved in the same spot for different wp-installations unless specially configured to do so.
