It isn't an AP - but you could design a tower with ALOT of monsters and a floor or two for each character level. You can even 'theme' dungeon floors. It may or may not work for what you need.
Sadly it only has the OGL monsters listed (since it is for 3.5) so it doesn't have all the monsters from the Pathfinder Bestiaries... which is sad.
EDIT: My bad - they DO have a Pathfinder specific random generator: http://donjon.bin.sh/pathfinder/dungeon/
That link is indeed really handy. Bookmarked for future use. My thanx as well M.C.!
I seem to remember a gigantic mega-dungeon book/brick for 3.5 that was around $90...
RoninUsagi, you might be thinking of The World's Largest Dungeon, with something like 16 poster sized maps and every monster in the entire 3.5 SRD was in there at least once, some of them lots of times. Characters go in level 1 and exit level 20, if they exit at all.
Mead, that link to the Pathfinder random dungeon generator is pretty cool, but I noticed it doesn't seem complete. Lots of repetitive monsters as if they only used part of the first Bestiary and every treasure hoard I created, out of about 40-50, had coin, art, gems, potions, scrolls, and wands. That's in. No weapons, no armor, no wondrous items, staves, rings, rods. It's like only part of the treasure tables were completed.
It does make some fun maps, but it also has its shortcomings.
To the OP, did you want to "Play" the characters, or just level them through battle? If it's the latter, why not just go with an imaginary arena, maybe with time between to level up and buy magic items? If it's the former and you really want to play them, then I don't think there's a really fast solution for you other than running the same AP over and over, quicker each time you do it because you get familiar with it, but you wanted to avoid repetition, so a random tower generator and/or an arena, both seem to be about the same - endless fights to level your characters.
If you do want to speed things up, why not ignore the XP tables? Set a number of fights, say, 4, to have at each level. Spice it up, have two at your level, one a bit below, and one a bit above. Try to do them in one game-day (so your characters don't sleep and recover spells between fights). At the end of the 4 fights, level them up. Toss them a bit of gear to keep up with the Wealth-by-Level chart and you're set. You get to level up quickly but still get the challenge of learning your class and abilities and have to make an effort to spare your resources between fights, just like a normal adventuring party.

bestiary 1 is all there, spread across tables by dungeon level and motif, 2 and 3 are still to be done. hopefully before 4 is out.

treasure generally follows the model presented in Ultimate Equipment, and so is based on the type and CR of its guardian monster.
