I'm using a distro which has all classical bindirs (/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, etc.) symlinked to /usr/bin, so only the actual directory (/usr/bin in my case) should be scanned. What happens for me is every symlink seems to be scanned, effectively meaning the same folder is scanned multiple times.

Thanks for reporting. To support in testing it after making adjustments: What distro is it?
