Just built InfluxDB IOx from sources [1] and compared data ingestion performance to VictoriaMetrics by using Billy tool [2] on a laptop with Intel i5-8265U CPU (it contains 4 CPU cores) and 32GB RAM. Results for 1M measurements are the following:

- InfluxDB IOx: 600K rows/sec

- VictoriaMetrics: 4M rows/sec

I.e. VictoriaMetrics outperforms InfluxDB IOx by more than 6x in this benchmark. I hope InfluxDB IOx performance will be improved over time, since it is written in Rust.
