Get out your fist year physics book and calculate how much faster a 800 gram weight will get to the top of a 1km/10% hill when compared to a 1290 gram weight when the same amount of force is applied to booth.
500g (1 lb) out of 165 lbs (150 lb rider + 15 lb bike)? At best, <1% faster. That's being exceedingly generous and rounding up from 0.6%.
First year physics point of order: force is the wrong property to be holding constant. You mean power.
