Hmm, let's don't call it unit tests. I would suggest "rspec examples" or 
"rspec tests" here. I was confused, because:

Unit test is a method by which individual units of source code are 
tested to determine if they are fit for use. A unit is the smallest 
testable part of an application. -- wikipedia

Frankly I would rather focus on improving code coverage than re-writing 
some cli tests as rspec tests. Maybe the most important ones. Speaking 
about slowness there's room for improvement in our rspec suite as well ;-)

AFAIK Garik is already working on recurrent running of CLI tests.
