It's seems to me that you did not try what Dimitri suggested
but something else (saltDiffusion=.FALSE., I guess).
If you do exactly what was suggested (or just saltStepping=.FALSE.),
the model will not computed anything for salinity, 
will take less time, but will keep writing salinity output files.
