Re: [rspec-users] running a fast subset of the specs

Sure. Put all your fast specs in a subdirectory spec/fast. Then Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new do |t| t.spec_files = FileList['spec/fast/**/*_spec.rb'] end or something to that effect. Alternately, put your slow specs in a subdirectory, but I think the above way is arguably cleaner.
