Let's say I've got this spec:

describe Team, "add_player" do
  it "should add a player to the team" do
    team = Team.new
    player = Player.new :name => "Pat"
    team.add_player player
    team.should have(1).players
    team.players.first.name.should == "Pat"
  end
end

and for some reason
team.should have(1).players
fails.  Do I get any value from seeing the second expectation fail?
What if it passes?

My suggestion is to break up your long running test flow into bits
that you can test individually, that run quickly and independently of
each other.  Get those tested, and have an integration test which
makes sure that everything works together.
