Word for someone who likes it fast

Fastness can be applied to anything.

Characteristics of this person can be:

  • likes a fast-paced life (in general)
  • likes things to be done quickly
  • doesn't like to waste time
  • doesn't like to spend time on things that may take too much time
  • if things get slower or if they are not done as fast, he loses enthusiasm
  • likes people around him to be fast also
  • likes fast machines/animals (ex: fast cars, cheetah, peregrine falcon)
  • likes fast internet (who doesn't?)

It is not as simple as being:

  • punctual
  • hasty
  • impatient
  • quick-tempered
  • slacker (irony?)

It is like a life style. There is a term "speed freak" but it is too exaggerated and it has other connotations as well. I'm not sure if there is a word that exactly fits but at least it can be as close as possible or a phrase.

fast and furious?

Edit: He is not in hyperactive state. He can enjoy relaxing/keeping calm at times and spending time on the things he likes. It should not be associated with a disorder, it should be associated with a life-style or a culture maybe. Or just a characteristic feature.
