interesting. I haven't used fixtures before. Wouldn't this make individual tests slow (like in development?) since all fixtures must be inserted all the time?

It doesn't add as much overhead as you might expect because the fixture data is inserted into the database without instantiating any ActiveRecord models. Unless you're loading a truly crazy amount of fixtures (gigabytes?), the database can ingest all the data in single-digit milliseconds.
