Any way I can speed this up?
Even in the worst case I've experienced it's been a few seconds of start-up overhead, nothing close to 20. What versions of rspec and rails are you using? What command are you using to run the spec? What OS, ruby version, etc? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
