This is caused by your use of before(:all) blocks which create data in the database. If you are using the :transaction strategy, which it seems you are, then any data added in before(:all) is created prior to the transaction. This also means it's left over after the example. I'm guessing you want to use the :all block for "performance reasons". However, that may not be where your time is being spent. For example, your "Clients Page Has pagination and lists all clients" spec ( spec/features/clients_page_spec.rb:24) took 13.25 seconds on my machine. That time was *not* spent creating the objects, but instead verifying everything on the page.
If you really must use before(:all) then you need to manually clean it up or change your configs.
