Speedup Capybara

Meta

Capybara Version:
3.38
firefox

Expected Behavior

much shorter initailization time

Actual Behavior

9 seconds for initializing a single test (measured by stopwatch / rspec request-spec lasts 4 sec.)

Steps to reproduce

Test with only content visit root_path

Note

I know this is a stupid question because Capybara has to initialise a large environment. Using GoogleChrome would speed things up a bit, but not by much.

At the end there would be needed a scenario like: Initializing of the Browser-environment once after IDE-restart.

But this initializing time costs so much time, 1000 times a day. See my post on rails discussions
