No. aide is almost always disk-bound, computing the checksum happens
in negligible time on today's system. You're waiting for your disk,
nothing else.

Run aide with a higher verbosity level and check whether it is hanging
in /dev, /proc or /sys. I'd exclude those directories without much
thinking.

Greetings
Marc
