[Aide] Can I get a list of files aide is scanning?

On some of our hosts, it's taking 2-3 minutes to do a full scan. Since 
we run aide --check every 10 minutes (we're using this as a 
configuration checker as well as IDS), this load is too high for our 
smaller hosts.

I'd like to ask aide to show me all the files / directories it's 
scanning so I can see where the heavy lifters are.  Is there a way to do 
this?  I tried using -V250 or thereabouts, but the output didn't seem to 
be listing file (it dumped a LOT of information, I could probably grep 
it, but there's got to be a better way).

If I touch a file, and run a check, I'm seeing:

Summary:
   Total number of files:    185899

Can I get a list of those files?

     -d
