Most rails apps exists solely to shuttle data between the database and
the browser.  If you are mocking out these interactions you are not
really testing the most important part of your application. This is
especially true if you have split up your app into multiple classes
all of which are interacting with each other and the database.

It's expensive sure but it has to be done.

BTW once I tried putting the database in a RAM disk for testing
purposes, it didn't really help that much so the problem seems to be
AR rather than the database itself.
