That's probably because of the extra work it imposes because it changes
the default face after the first frame is created: Emacs has just
created the frame (which involves realizing a bunch of faces) and you're
telling it should go and redo some of that work with a new value of
`default`.

Setting your faces via Custom will avoid this double work because the
new setting can be installed before creating the first frame, so the
frame can be created immediately with the right faces.
