Take a look at Newton's Second Law: F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). Solving for acceleration: a=F/m. In other words, if the force is the same, more mass will result in less acceleration, since the mass is in the denominator.

How can Gravity effectively change the force required to accelerate both a small mass and large mass objects to the same speed?

The force on a large mass is greater, but it requires a larger force to accelerate a larger mass so the aceleration becomes the same. Force = mass x acceleration. But force of gravity =mg, therefore mg =ma, so a=g.
