Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water.

Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules.

In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules.

Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.

Use cold water. Using hot water means you need to wait for it to cool. It also means that - because of the way solubility works - you might not add enough water. If you want the sugar to dissolve quicker, stir it.
