rspec users - Feb 2011 - using before(:all) for cheap benchmark?

I''m a new (and complete) convert to RSpec, especially when coupled with
autotest.

I notice when automate processes my entire spec directory it takes about
eight minutes.  I have many more tests to add before I''m done, so
eventually
I''ll want to streamline my tests.

Is there a quick and dirty way log the amount of time spent on each file to
a log?  That would give me a place to start looking for optimizations.  (For
extra credit: is there a way to log the time spent on each individual test?)

I''ll look into using before(:all) and after(:all) for doing this, but
if
you''ve already created a benchmark hook for rspec, I''m happy
to use your
code.

Thanks.

Run the rspec command with the --help flag, like this:

  rspec --help

It lists all of the available options, including --profile, which lists the 10
slowest examples. Doesn''t give you exactly what you''re saying
you want, but it probably sets you in the right direction.

HTH,
