It depends on who you are playing. If you are playing assassin junglers (Shaco, Xin Zhao, etc.) you have to get a few kills from ganks. If you are playing tank/supportive junglers (Amumu, Maokai, etc.) then you are doing it right.

Also, if you fall behind early, gank or push towers down (splitpush). The jungle doesn't offer enough XP or gold to catch up.

Remember to ward lanes and jungle, but don't spend half of your money on wards unless there is a VERY effective roamer on the enemy team.

I'm guessing that others spend more time in the jungle because their lanes are winning and they have ganked successfully a few times already.
