The GeoServer preview defaults to 'single tile' mode, where openlayers
requests a new tile the size of the map everytime you move.  If you use the
little menu button in the top corner of the map you'll get some other
options including one to switch to tiled mode.

Some clients (OpenLayers at least) default to tiling even from dynamic WMS
services so possibly you are using tiles without realizing it.
