Fixture loading should be skipped for TestCase decorated with @skip*
TransactionTestCase overrides unittest.TestCase.__call__() and always runs _fixture_setup(), even for skipped tests (decorated with @skip* from unittest).
It makes no sense at all and it's really waste of time to wait for those fixtures to load.

* Flushing the database.
* If the Test Case class has a 'fixtures' member, installing the
named fixtures.
* If the Test Case class has a 'urls' member, replace the
ROOT_URLCONF with it.
* Clearing the mail test outbox.
