Is using prisma findFirst() faster than findMany() then getting the first item in the returned array?

In the Prisma ORM, is there any performance difference between doing this:

const users = await prisma.users.findMany();

return users[0]

And that:

return await prisma.users.findFirst();

I need to choose the best option for single resource queries in my API.
