I asked a question, https://superuser.com/questions/399915/how-to-most-efficiently-utilize-cpu-resources-in-windows-7, that was closed as too localized.

It is not clear to me why this is too localized. I did mention specific programs that I would like to improve the performance of, but these were only provided as examples, and they are fairly common.

1. What makes this question too localized? 
2. How could I improve the question?
