It turns out the highest rate of diffusion I found is 4.64, which can be found with the surface area to volume ratio of 7.17 and 10.17.  Interesting part is that both has the same volume and dimples, but different surface area.  This proves that the volume of a cell and dimples (pores) have more significance on the rate of diffusion than the surface area alone.  However, the surface area does matter.  Through observations, the flat cells tend to have a higher rate of diffusion than the round cells.  This is perhaps because the surface area is much more spread out in a flat cell than a round cell.
