Heavy weapons raise weapon levels faster (General)
This is merely a coincidence, especially since Weight and Weapon EXP are two seperate weapon stats (Weapon EXP is a hidden stat). It is likely that most heavy weapons just have more Weapon EXP to make them more worth using.
This is important in Path of Radiance, where many people often suggest forging a weapon with high Weight so they will gain Weapon EXP faster. Do not do this. You will in fact gain Weapon EXP slower because you will double attack less and thus attack with your weapon less and, therefore, gain less Weapon EXP.

So, Iron or Steel weapon, what matter is how often you attack, not what weapon you weild.
