re: speed, you be sure to upgrade to rspec-rails-2.2 (I'd go for the latest, 2.4.1), which sped things up considerably. As for docs - official docs are at http://relishapp.com/rspec. Info about contributing to the docs can be found there and at http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2010/12/23/rspec-2-documentation-2/. Thanks in advance for your help.
