If you are on the localhost it's normal, a 500MB shapefile will turn
into several
GB of GML that geoserver has to produce and qgis to parse, so they will
both use a lot of CPU during the data transfer.
The bigger the file, the longer it will take to generate and parse all the GML

As a term of reference, I have a line shapefile that is 80MB (just the
shp), extracted it in
GML form (getting just the geometry attribute), the my core I7 860
stayed above 80%
for 6 seconds and generated a GML file that was 304MB.
Add something that has to parse the GML on the other side and your CPU usage is
surely going to go up a lot

I've just tried to add that layer to qgis, both geoserver and qgis
both stayed at 100% for
8-10 seconds, but then geoserver finished its part and qgis went on at 100%
for 3 minutes, and then nothing showed up on the screen

Cheers
Andrea
