WFS LIMITATION OF MAPSERVER

The main difference is IMHO that Geoserver is more efficient using 
database sources like Oracle Spatial or PostGIS. Mapserver runs a query 
for each feature to be retrieved, whereas Geoserver will use more 
"smart" SQL to retrieve the features in 1 pass to the DB.

Best regards,
