The boiling point of water will rise 1/2 degree for every 58 grams of salt disolved per kilogramm of water. So the answer is, it will take it longer to reach the boiling point with salt added - SLOWER.

Salt definitely causes water to boil quicker.

Yes salt does make water boil quicker because it just does.

Salt water has a higher boiling point than fresh water.
Salt water will therefore come to the boil more slowly.

Adding salt, (which separates into sodium and chloride) or any other water soluble molecules to any solute, (in this case water) will decrease the boiling point and increase the freezing point, (I just thought I'd throw that in). The answer is - It makes water boil faster and at a lower temperature.

Salt is added in cooking to RAISE the boiling point so if you heat is at the same rate it will be slower.

slower. I believe salination slightly raises the boiling point of water. But very slightly.

Raising the boiling point mean the water has to be hotter before it sstarts to boil, which mean it takes loner to boil, but boils at a higher temp.

Neither, it just causes it to boil hotter, since the boiling point is highered with salt. Same goes for olive oil/vegetable oil.
