These Slow factory things heavy slow down the feature specs, I think, even feature specs are intrinsic slow specs. Then I had some inspect and found out most of the Slow factory was caused bypaperclip. We had model using paperclip here:

Wondering also, how many times do you test the same paths with this? Maybe judicious use of before(:all) for some tests might speed things up as well? Another though (not really knowing if this makes sense) — if your image is 1x1 pixels does it do anything? You really should not need to test the actual image rendering bits more than once or twice in your whole suite.
