Sure, i've just done something similar for this project: http://nodeshot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/install_development.html#how-to-setup-the-test-environment
The *keepdb* option allows to avoid recreating the test database at each run, hence saving precious time. If you want to speed up tests even more, tweak your local postgresql configuration by setting these values: # /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf # only for development! fsync = off synchronous_commit = off full_page_writes = off We just have to make sure people actually find this information via search engines. The best thing would be to have a subsection called "How to speed up tests with Postgres" or something similar. What do you think?
