Weight Weenies on the Downhill Slide

I always read posts about how losing 100 grams of weight gives you blank extra speed on hill climbs, but I never hear anyone mention what effect the lose of weight has on the other side of the hill. Does any one have any calculations that compare the gain going uphill to the lose going downhill?
Being a Clyde, I frequently get caught going up hills, but I generally fly past the skinny guys on the way down.
