Roll center and CofG...rate of roll or force of roll

I am under the impression that the farther the roll centers are from the centers of gravity - in a dynamic condition...real world - the more forcefull the roll. On the other hand, if the distance between RC and the CofG is reduced, so is the force. But, is the rate of roll faster with a shorter lever arm and slower with a longer lever arm? There must exist a sweet spot within every vehicle where the force and rate of weight transfer is ideally suited to very fast driving.
