First time two butts. Does cooking time change?

Me and a buddy at work split a case of butts. He wants me to smoke one of his. So tomorrow I'm doing two. Does smoking multiple butts add to cooking time if they are both the same size? I would think not, but want to make sure. Both are around 8 pounds.
 
I agree with Dave that the time will not vary too much. Be prepared that they may not finish at the same time. Judge each seperately

But keep in mind you will probably go through more charcoal. Well thats what I have found. It will probably take more energy to keep a constant temp with 2 big pieces of meat cooking than one. I've really noticed it when doing 4 butts and using the guru to temp control
 
If you're doing them on the WSM, the only difference I can think of would be the meat on the edges of the grates getting a little extra heat. Otherwise, same as cooking one.
