Just as salt lowers the freezing point, it lowers the boiling point as well. In a word: Yes.
Adding salt does make water boil faster.

Adding Salt to water is called "A l'anglais" or english style if you don't speak french, and No it does not make the water boil faster.

It raises the boiling temprature of the water making it boil HOTTER... so it would actually cause the water to boil slower.
Plus it's great for adding some flavor to your pasta.

Nope but if you put a lid on the pot that might make it boil faster; FYI: add the salt to the pot after it comes to a boil!

No,you should add the salt after it comes to the boil.

you should always add the salt after the water boils, not before.

No it adds flavor to the water, which in turn flavors whatever you are cooking in the water (potatoes, pasta, etc)
