You missed the most obvious source of information: The manpage. There
it says (in the section OUTPUT):
-----
If a test completes in less than 500ms then the output will be
displayed as "++++". This is because such a test result can’t be
calculated accurately due to rounding errors and I would rather display
no result than a wrong result.
-----
In my outputs there is always the same number of +s in the same column.
The number depends of the output type: +++++ in /sec on STDOUT, ++++
in /sec in HTML file, +++ in %CPU. Anyway there is no quantity
information coded in the number of +s
