I'm not an expert, but I believe it has something to do with the frame rate. or the refresh rate. One or the other. You have to set it so the pictures go from one to the next smoothly enough that it doesn't get grainy in between.

What program are you using? I think you are just not using enough frames. Depending on speed, you would want to move a few pixels ever 0.1 second.

What program are you using?

GIMP 2 (rebound edition) 
What animation editor or picture editor do you recommend?
Example 2 uses 100ms at 10 frames (10 fps) , then 2000ms and last frame at 6000ms

Well, I use Photoshop CS6, but it's pretty expensive and I mostly use it for stills editing, so I wouldn't reccomend it.

 

For simple gifs based off of stills, Gimp is probably fine, though I don't really use it myself.

 

On another note, making a gif with one picture is pretty difficult, which is why I generally draw a bunch of frames with body parts on different layers in Paint Tool Sai. Gimp is pretty much like Sai but free and doesn't support transparancy or animation.
