Once the hill becomes steep enough (5%? 8%?), power to overcome gravity dominates. Speed is proportional to 1/weight and time is proportional to weight. So lose 10% of the weight, and you go 11% faster and take 90% as long.

Assuming the same amount of power (which for body weight may be a big assumption).
