Generally I try to run the tests with as little extra software loaded as
possible, particularly when I test Rake itself.  I might be using my
installed version of Rake to run tests on a developement version of Rake. 
Under that scenario, the tests are better run out of process.

But in-process tests would probably be fine for most projects, especially
since the rake process itself is rather short-lived.  Do you find they run
faster in-process?  if there is interest, providing an in-process Rake
test task might be worthwhile.

Thanks for reminding me of this option, I had forgotten about the code you
sent me.
