Hi Michael,
Try the SAGA implementation (through Processing). It's much faster, as
described in

Best wishes,

The point sampling plugin can be very effective but is slow when dealing
with a large number of points and a complex area to be sampled e.g.
hundreds of thousands of points on a relatively detailed map of world
countries. I can cope with it being slow by just accepting it will take
all day to run BUT it never completes because there is always something
that happens on the pc that stops it, the last time it happened after
about 4 hours with a couple more hours to run. If you try to use any
other program on the pc then the tool stops and also freezes qgis. am
currently running qgis 2.0.1 on windows7 64bit with quite a lot of ram
although i note it never uses more than about 13% of the total ram. I
used to run the tool with earlier versions of qgis on windowsXP and had
the same issue with it stopping if any other program was opened on the
pc.
