Impact of two databases sharing an oracle instance

What is the difference in following two approaches -

  1. Two databases having separate oracle instance (hence separate schema) on the same Solaris machine
  2. Two databases sharing an instance but having separate schema on a Solaris machine

What am trying to figure out is the impact on performance, capacity when two databases share the same oracle instance.

Following are the potential areas which would be shared if two databases share an instance

  1. System Global Area (SGA)
  2. Oracle Background processes
  3. System tablespace
  4. Temporary tablespace
  5. Rollback tablespace
  6. Index tablespace
  7. Data Tablespace
  8. SQL*Net driver and other tools
  9. Archives/Backups
  10. Query processor
