WHOOP HI IM BACK 4 MONTHS LATER OOPS (busy season at work plus I had. uh. a lot of drafts to sort through before I found this again. Sorry about that!)

So! When you salt water for boiling things, it does two things:

It Raises the boiling point of the water (yes yes I know this seems counter-intuitive LET ME MAKE THE REST OF MY POINT)

AND it reduced the specific heat of the water - this means it takes less energy to raise your water by one degree centigrade.

So your water gets hot faster, but it doesn't vaporize at the same temperature.

I will admit: you have to add a lot of salt to water to make it boil appreciably faster, but at that point we're also seasoning whatever you're boiling too so /shrug.

Sources:

Thermtest: Does Adding Salt to Water Help it Boil Faster?

Live Science: Does salt make water boil faster?

uLesson: Why Does Salt Water Boil Faster?

R/askscience: How does adding salt to water make it boil faster?

My baseless theory is that the "adding salt makes water boil faster" was a clever ploy by Italians to make efficiency-obsessed protestants put the bare minimum of flavour into their cooking.
