If you need large MapServer layers featuring worldwide coverage, try
some of the "v0_"- or "cstest_"-layers at the FlightGear MapServer:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/

Global shapefile dumps of the respective VMap0 layers are here:

Explanations here:

I'm not advertizing these resources without hidden motives, since
"we" (the FlightGear Scenery crew) also experiences slow/delayed
rendering of large layers in QGIS  ....  investigation in progress  ;-)

Cheers,
