Power is power. To the extent 110V is slower to boil water, it's a reflection of either inadequate power delivery capacity due to the higher currents required, or wasted heat in places other than the kettle. Either way, heat gets lost over time.
You're almost always better off with higher voltage and less current, when given a choice. An obvious exception being when you get shocked. :-P Or when corona losses come into the picture.
