Will a smaller encrypted partition be accessed quicker than a larger one?

Hello. Usually I'm able to find answers to most of my questions online but today I'm not having any luck. So I'll open my forum account with a really straightforward question:

Given a certain type of encryption, will a computer access a smaller partition quicker than a larger one? I would guess so, but does it work like this?

Background: I was looking into Full Disk Encryption today and I believe grub can take some time unencrypting /boot with luks1 encryption. Would a smaller partition be quicker?
