Consequences of wrong spark plug gap?

Just got through replacing spark plugs for the first time since top end rebuilt two years ago. Noticed that the rebuilders (who had put in new plugs) left the WR7DC Bosch plugs with too wide a gap (.036", which is how they come out of the box) instead of regapping to the correct 0.028-0.032" gap. Does not seem to make any difference to the running of the engine.
What are the possible consequences of having a gap too big or too small?
