Answer: it's not, by default. :)
It's likely a mapping that starts with "^" interfering, waiting
for the mapping timeout.
As AK answered, check for mappings beginning with "^". Another
test would be to check if the time-to-wait changes based on the
value you put in for 'timeoutlen'. If you set it to something
ridiculously high like 20000, do you have to wait an agonizing 20
seconds before "^" sends you to the beginning of the line?
I suspect it may have entered your mappings by mistakingly typing
something like
nnoremap ^K something_I_want_to_do_with_ctrl+K
instead of
nnoremap <c-k> something_I_want_to_do_with_ctrl+K
-tim
