It's not an ideal solution but you may be able to borrow the funds off a family member for a ...

On a single-option basis, there is this paper comparing methods by Mark Joshi. It doesn't specifically examine portfolios, but there's a reason for that. Portfolio and scenario computations are embarrassingly parallel, so once you have achieved your most efficient available option pricer, the rest is simply about wise distribution of your computational ...
