diskutil erasevolume HFS+ "ramdisk" `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://1165430` Will create a ram disk, I used this command a few months ago to create a ramdisk, then I pointed couchdb at the ramdisk, which was quicker than my SSD… I recall getting some 1min+ suites running in 10—20 seconds using this technique, parallel_specs and ensuring to use rspecs 'let' feature, which lazily creates factory objects as required.
