Same site... but different information.

 

Here they break down the Principles of Animation:

 

http://www.animationbrain.com/category/animation-principles

 

Here's a random sampling of information from that section regarding how the number of frames effects timing:

 

No inbetweens – The

Character has been hit by a tremendous force. His head is nearly snapped off.

 

One inbetween - The

Character has been hit by a brick, rolling pin, and frying pan.

 

Two inbetweens - The

Character has a nervous tic, a muscle spasm and an uncontrollable twitch.

 

Three inbetweens - The

Character is dodging a brick, rolling pin and frying pan.

 

Four inbetweens - The

Character is giving a crisp order, “Get going!” “Move it!”

 

Five inbetweens - The

Character is friendlier, “Over here.” “Come on-hurry!”

 

Six inbetweens - The

Character sees a good-looking girl, or the sports car he has always wanted.

 

Seven inbetweens - The

Character tries to get a better look at something.

 

Eight inbetweens - The

Character searches for the peanut butter on the kitchen shelf.

 

Nine inbetweens - The

Character appraises, considering thoughtfully.

 

Ten inbetweens – The

Character stretches a sore muscle.

 

There is a similar writeup in the TaoA:M manual.
