rspec users - Aug 2009 - running a fast subset of the specs

My rails project has a lot of specs.   Most of these run quickly.  There are
a handful of files, like spec/model/slow_spec1.rb and
spec/model/slow_spec2.rb that run slowly because they have to do various
slow operations like using a timer.  

I would like to write a rake task, like rake:spec:fast, that runs only the
fast specs.  Any ideas of how to do this?

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.
