I've been trying to separate out some fast specs in a Rails app in a Gary 
Bernhardt style[1], and I experimented with using tags.

The problem with using tags is that in order to scan the specs for examples 
that match the tags, it loads every spec file, most of which require 
spec_helper, which loads Rails, and so takes 5-6 seconds. Thereby totally 
defeating the original purpose.

One idea I have is to put some if statements into spec_helper to check the tags 
that were passed to RSpec and only load the rails env if necessary. Is that 
possible?

Has anyone else tried doing anything like this?

cheers,
Matt
