Since an empty value is replaced by the default (htdig here), this
won't make much of a difference unless there's a typo somewhere.

It's pretty easy to explain. Even if you're running it through your
own computer, the CGI has to go through the webserver, which then
does some additional parsing before it "runs the command line" and
then minimal processing afterwards.
CGI will always be slower than command-line unless the CGI is persistent.
