How to estimate SV type models in R more efficiently?

Hello everyone,
It seems that the estimation of the stochastic volatility model is inefficient in R.

Liya,
What, specifically, have you tried that seems to you to be inefficient?
Please provide references to code and packages that you have tried. That makes
it much easier for someone else to help you out.
I do not immediately recall the paper you reference, but I have estimated many
different kinds of volatility models in R, and have usually been able to
accomplish what I needed to. There are a multitude of [G/AP]ARCH models
available in R, which ones have you tried? What specific problems did you
encounter?
