Charles gave more details, but let me emphasize this: if the issue is one of OS resources, it will surely affect one more than the other, possibly the second one started.
You might want to google for dtrace, especially as it applies to Oracle. Don't have time to look just now, but IIRC Tanel Poder, James Morle and Kerry Osborne have some things about dtrace on their blogs.

Performance of a crashed instance is always the worst degradation.
