I assume that 1) you have similar rolling resistance and 2) your hubs are as smooth as the next guy ... then if you're heavier and even remotely aero you're simply going to go faster downhill.
I'm one of the heaviest guys in my club, and there is nobody that touches me downhill unless they can get in my draft. Even then most don't have the nerve to maintain the speed.
The truth is gravity works.
