Slowness of the estimation

Dear Dynare team,
I have been running the attached code which involves a Bayesian estimation. It has been running for 18 hours now. It was doing a count of acceptances at a snail’s pace and then it froze. I am not sure why it is so slow. I attach the code and the data file. Any help will be appreciated.

You have a huge model and chose the slowest mode-finder. But a bit of testing shows that
dr=cycle_reduction
speeds up things considerably.

Many thanks. It worked! I changed to mode-compute=4 with your dr command. It gave me results in 20 minutes although I still need to resolve a negative hessian issue.
