It raises the heat of vapourisation (stage where water goes to steam) and
cooks faster. Same principle of a radiator, (the bit about allowing the
water to not boil at higher temps(cos of the increased pressure), which
increases the efficiency of the system allowing a greater transfer of heat
from the engine...
