I've noticed an anomaly in the "each tab in it's own process" scenario 
in that, for example, when launching 3 links from Google News (call it 
the "base tab") into their own separate tabs by middle-clicking the each 
link, all tabs are launched in the same process that Google News runs 
in. In other words, there's only two process running for what is now 
four separate tabs not counting the separate process for the Flash 
plugin if it's being used. Those two processes are one for the browser 
and one for Google News and the 3 "middle clicked" tabs.

Conversely, if you take the same 3 links from Google News and drag each 
of them to the tab bar separately, each tab will then open in it's own 
process separate from the one Google News is running in. This example 
works the same for any tab used as the base for launching links into 
tabs by middle clicking. They always open in the same process as the 
base tab.

The reason I bring this up is that if one a tab in a "same process" set 
that was middle clicked from "base" tab locks up or crashes, it locks up 
or brings all the other "same process" tabs crashing down as well since 
that one bad tab is running in the same process as the rest. At times, 
this will lock up the entire browser as well.

Hope I'm making sense here.
