Only block header that has all necessary information gets hashed, and it has fixed size, so the total block size doesn't matter.

From Wiki:Block hashing algorithm

The body of the block contains the transactions. These are hashed only indirectly through the Merkle root. Because transactions aren't hashed directly, hashing a block with 1 transaction takes exactly the same amount of effort as hashing a block with 10,000 transactions.
