Default Pasta, water and salt

This relates to baked pasta dishes (which work great in a wood-fired oven) -- I know you are supposed to bring your water to a boil before you add the salt (and then the pasta). My question is why? Does it have to do with salt lowering the water temperature and slowing down the boiling process?
