This sounds a lot like a vim plugin for editing html.  In that plugin,
it uses the , as the key to indicate that it is receiving a command.
So, whenever a comma is typed, it treats any character within a second
as a command, and does a lookup to see if it should do anything.  This
causes a pause whenever a , is typed if that plugin is active.

The fact that xev isn't affected by this suggests some type of macro in
the key interpretation chain, as I think that xev gets raw keycodes
directly from the kernel.  Do you have any kind of desktop assistant
that would create macros installed?  Something that would monitor all
your keystrokes, looking for shortcuts that would do things for you.

I checked the keymappings in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pt, but it
inherits the slash from latin(type4), and I couldn't find that.  That
is unlikely to be the cause.
