You only need to test login for each login case, not for each time
you are testing some sort of logged in functionality.
In most cases you can just post to sessions/create rather than
filling in a login form.
I also wanted to speed up the "Given I am a logged in user" type of
thing, as you suggested, but took a different, faster approach which
may also work for you. I set a cookie to auto-login the user on the
next request. Implementation as a gist http://gist.github.com/42973
and below. -Luke
