'genüsslich' and 'hastig' both describe how someone does something, but they are clear opposites. 'genüsslich' fits when someone slowly savors something with pleasure. 'hastig' is used when someone acts in a hurry and is often not precise or calm. With 'genüsslich', the focus is on enjoyment; with 'hastig', it is on quick, restless movement.
