Rails - Dec 2013 - Recommendations for a fast standalone ActiveRecord process?

Hi,

I need to create a standalone script that uses ActiveRecord.

I want it to be as fast as possible, without loading a lot of extra 
elements.

It seems to work fine to use ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection and
include my models/ files, but some of those models use the methods named:
    Rails.root
    Rails.env

What is the best way to allow the models to continue to use these function
calls, and yet avoid loading an entire Rails application?

Thanks,
David

module Rails
  def self.root
    "hardcoded path"
  end
  def self.env
     ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] || ''development''
  end
