If you're using RSpec in Rails then Guard (or Watchr which I use and
don't notice much delay) + Spork is the way to go, but I don't have to
switch apps to see the specs as I have specs running on my second screen
and just keep them in the corner of my vision rather than focus on them
- if you have limited real estate then can always use Growl with RSpec too.

oh don't get me wrong, guard and fs-events are fast as… it's just that
spinning up rails and test dependancies are what takes the time.

Yeah, it does surprise me that guard is so slow to react to file changes - I'm
on OS X and so it should be hooking into fs-events, I'd expect guard to spin up
tests fairly sharpish. Autotest certainly used to…. Maybe there is some sort of
configuration that can be made to get over the delay.

I guess that depends a lot on your workflow.
for me being able to run the current spec file with a keyboard
shortcut and see the result instantly in my editor makes the process
flow nicely enough that alt-tabbing to a terminal forces too much of a
context switch overhead.

Guards pretty cool but in my experience it's far too easy to outpace,
especially if you're loading rails in all of your specs.
This is true. Guard gives you no real advantage if you have to wait for Rails
to load, but I've found it absolutely priceless with code that is predominantly
unit-tested.
