On a large DB, it can take several hours until the index is actually
ready  for use.  So if you need it to be functional, it's better to
slapindex ‑q.

But in both cases you can't use it before the index is done. I don't see
the big difference.

The difference is that slapindex -q <attr> can take a few seconds to a few minutes on a large index, while the background indexer may take numerous hours. If you need that index available immediately to resolve perf issues, it makes alot more sense to use slapindex -q.
