path-based access control questions

I'm converting a cvs repos to svn which includes an access-restricted
directory. Two questions about the path-based access control:

1) Are wildcards supported in the path specification? or can I
otherwise avoid adding an entry to the access-control file every time
the directory is branched?

2) The svnbook refers to performance implications, stating ominously:
"in certain situations, there's very noticeable performance loss".
Can anyone elaborate? Is this specific to http vs svn access? does it
linearly track # of paths specified? what ops, etc?

Any guidance appreciated. As an alternative to the path-based access
control, I have the option of segregating the access-restricted
directory to a separate repository but that carries its own baggage.

Thanks!
Kylo
