You might want to check out the WMS Benchmarking mapfile, which uses 
TIGER2008 data for the state of Texas, tiled by county 
(http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking/mapserver/shapefile-county.map). 
  You can download the data used in that mapfile at: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2009#Download

Also, an older but still good example can be found on the tile4ms 
documentation page: http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/tile4ms.html

Hope that helps.
