hamgif, or giffy as it's sometimes called, displays GIF pictures quickly,
but is not very reliable when it comes to converting 256 color VGA GIFs
to the Amiga's HAM mode.
To my knowledge, the best GIF-to-IFF converter is called ShamSharp. It's
slower than hamgif, but it makes beautiful HAM pictures from VGA GIFs and
it leaves you with an IFF picture that you can load into any Amiga graphics
program.
