You probably have one or more mappings which begin with ";".  The
delay happens because Vim needs to see if you are going to type
another character, which will determine whether you want to execute
the mapping or use the default behavior of ";".

Try

    :verbose map ;

to find out which mappings begin with ";" and whence they come.

The duration of the delay is also configurable.  See

    :help timeoutlen

for more information about that.
