Okay, the newest version of the rspec executes all the tests in 2.873 seconds with a total time of 16.7 seconds. My guess is that this rspec- rails version saved me ~2 seconds and rails is still eating up 15 seconds.
This is very similar to Grails. 15-20 seconds is absurd. I am a nitpicker and would just outright refuse to program under such conditions. LOL ;) Maybe if I have a spare hard drive I can install linux? What's a good distribution these days for someone that likes user-friendly and good performance?
