I can't imagine that it WOULDN"T take longer. The body fat is going to add additional heat, but it's going to burn at a much lower temperature than you're already firing the oven at, so I don't see where it's going to make much of a difference. It would most likely just melt and escape into a pool, burning freely (ew!). Larger people are going to have denser bones to support the additional weight, and that's what I imagine would take the longest to burn. There's also the issue that its going to just take longer to get to the bones due to the amount of flesh in the way.
