This bug has been fixed in Rails 4.

It seems that one of the things rspec-rails does is to add 'test:prepare' as a dependency to the test task. Commented it in the activerecord databases.rake to check and it's accountable for 2 seconds here.

Still cannot figure out where the other 2 seconds goes.

Why running tests with rspec is faster than with rake? What's rake doing unnecessarily?
