This sounds like a great candidate for a 'How-To' on the MapServer site, or an addition to the existing Raster Data Access How-To: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data
Another great candidate for a How-To would be 'Data Optimization', broken into Raster and Vector sections. We continually get list questions about how to make big datasets faster, it would be great to be able to point to one document. One could probably just scrape most of the great emails from Ed on the subject. I may start one if I get any time.
