I wouldn't recommend using spec server - use spork instead:

Both load the rails environment, so that each time you run your tests 
(with script/spec -X or script/spec --drb) you won't have to wait for it 
to load up (which can take 4-5 seconds).

autospec/autotest, on the other hand, polls the filesystem every 3 
seconds or so for changes.  When it sees one, it reruns just the test or 
spec file which has changed.
