That is probably because "defconfig" enables a lot of features in the
httpd applet that are disabled when you build with "allnoconfig"

Things like: Date header, Last-Modified header, Range requests, HTTP
authentication, custom error pages, reverse proxying, GZIP encoding,
and CGI scripting.

That's a lot of extra functionality for a 16K increase in size. You
can of course go back in either config and enable/disable just the
features you need, but I don't know how you would do that
non-interactively.
