Usually you would have 1 car heavier than the other to prevent double stacking in the pits. You'll notice with similar talent drivers (most accurate measure of equal drivers), the heavier car loses quite a bit of time per lap, depending on the track (tracks with more slow corners will give you more difficulty in following cars in front of you).
My rough estimate is 1 extra L loses you about 0.1-0.2s, not counting for time lost due to slow corners. If it's as big a difference as 10L and 30L though, the difference is definitely not going to be 4s per lap. So once again, rough estimate.
EDIT: Corrected estimate from 0.2-0.3s to 0.1-0.2s
