Apache Beam FileIO match - What's better/more efficient way to match files?

I'm just wondering - does the use of wildcard have an impact on how Beam matches files? For instance, if I want to match a file with Apache Beam, is there an advantage if I'd specify a direct path to a file (i.e. folder/subfolder/file.txt). Or, if I'd give just a wildcard to match() method as an input, would it be as efficient or worse, in terms of frameworks's performance?

Thanks

Compared to the cost of reading the file (and spinning up workers, if running on a distributed runner), the cost of matching will be negligible. On the other hand, multiple reads (with distinct direct paths) will generally be more overhead than reading a wildcard match.
