It was commonly believed that adding salt to water lowers the boiling temperature of water and causes it to boil faster, however this was shown to cause such a small change that it was rendered insignificant (however covering the pot will decrease loss of heat and will cause the water to boil faster than an uncovered pot). Adding salt to water essentially only adds flavor to the pasta that you are cooking, so adding salt before or after the water is boiling really doesn't matter. What does matter is that you add the salt before you add the pasta.

Why dou use so much water to boil noodles?
Pasta added to water before it starts to boil gets a heat start on mushiness. Pasta quickly begins to break down in tepid water as the starch dissolves. You need the intense heat of boiling water to "set" the outside of the pasta, which prevents the pasta from sticking together. That's why the fast boil is so important; the water temperature drops when you add the pasta, but if you have a fast boil, the water will still be hot enough for the pasta to cook properly. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Pasta_Rice_Main/pasta.htm
