I agree. I would start fresh for every test case. Maybe that makes it run too slowly?
Regarding Željko's comment, I found that rspec has 2 different kinds of "teardown" after(:all) - runs after each "it" test case after(:each) - runs after the last "it" test case http://rspec.info/documentation/ That's pretty cool.
