Making tests fast

I'm wondering how to make my tests fast while also having a lot of data defined in the models.  

This project is already using sqlite3 and the tests are single-threaded.

My ideas are:

• Specify a different sqlite3 file and keepdb for different tests - presumably with @override_settings
• Do something to copy this data into memory (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3850022/how-to-load-existing-db-file-to-memory-in-python-sqlite3) - I suspect Django already supports this, but I don't see where _clone_test_db is called.

I am loathe to use modelmommy and/or factoryboy because they are simply a bit harder to use.   I'd rather use dump data/load data with :memory database.
