Others have given you recommendations on eliminating the deadlocks, which is what really needs to be done. But as to the question of one DB coping quicker than the other, the database holds a latch (can't remember which one) which the deadlock trace file is being written. If max_dump_file_size is set to a large size, this can sometimes last a while. I've seen DBs where things got bad for over a minute. Shrinking the max_dump_file_size setting causes the latch to be released sooner.

Obviously avoiding the deadlocks is the long term solution.
