[OpenLayers-Users] Mapserver vs WMS.layer

[David William Bitner]

It's still using MapServer, so changing layer type shouldn't make a
difference.  Tuning your MapServer by creating indexing, scale dependent
layering, generalizing, etc. will be the things that will make your
MapServer faster.  Alternatively (or in addition) you could look into a
tiling engine like TileCache to prerender tiles.
