Does Rock Salt do a good job removing unwanted tree roots?

Someone gave me this tip and just wanted to double check before I took this route. Thanks in advance!

I've heard it works, but takes quite a bit of time.

I’ve used table salt to kill a stump. A tree remover recommended that I drill some holes and pour salt in it. It worked. But it does not accelerate rotting.

I also use table salt to kill the weeds growing through driveway expansion joints. It’s the cheapest and easiest way to do it.
