I have never benchmarked this but…
Since every HTTP request is a distinct request, the whole WordPress Core will load on every request either way, and a little bit more code loads for Multisite. So, it seems to me that two installs should run slightly better than a single multisite install, though I doubt you will actually notice the difference.
