vim syntastic

I'm using Syntastic which is enabled for my HTML files. Since I have a very big file with "validator w3" checkers enabled, GVIM or VIM became very slow while saving the file (:w).

Is it possible to toggle syntastic off temporally just for the current session?

Using :SyntasticToggleMode you can toggle Syntastic into passive mode, which will disable auto-checking. You can then check a file by running :SyntasticCheck instead.

For more, see :help syntastic-commands

On another note: if Syntastic is slow for you consider trying ale as an alternative. Unlike Syntastic it runs asynchronously, so even if it's slow it shouldn't hinder you.
