The physical size of an object places no limit on how rapidly it might pulsate, but it does limit the maximum frequency of pulsation we are likely to see, because of the differences in light travel time from parts of an extended object. E.g., a light-year-wide object could pulsate at 60Hz, we just wouldn't detect it.
