I did it on my first go by floating on that lava map (send your scv to mine gold while the CC is flying over, then carry 5 of them with you). I did depot 10, expand on 16 or whatever, quad refinery then teched. You'll have tons of spare minerals eventually whereupon you can spam turrets. You can attack once you hit 5 or 6 BC. Don't forget BC upgrades, no need for yamato though.
As for why they're faster, play a 2v1 with an insane ally and watch its build order. They're probably just using the boost thing better than you are.
