Summary: Rspec on Rails does not use Active Record's fixture optimization

Initial Comment:
Active Record fixtures are "cached" in a Hash based on the class. Since Rspec uses anonymous classes, there are no cache hits.

See fixtures.rb in ActiveRecord line 537.

If we can figure out how to utilize there cached fixtures, specs that use fixtures will be considerably faster.

Brian - in light of the current refactoring to concrete classes, I think this can be closed - yes?

Message:
The other benefit to fixing this is using "all" of the
fixtures for every example would pretty much be free, as
long as transactional fixtures are used.

This means we don't need to worry about which fixtures need
to be loaded for the example.
