## How to Write Benchmarks
### Calls
Ensure that any extrinsic call is benchmarked using the most computationally intensive path, i.e., the worst-case scenario.
### Hooks
Benchmark each hook to determine the weight consumed by it; hence, it is essential to benchmark all possible paths.
### Handlers and Internal Functions
When designing handlers and internal functions, it is advisable to avoid having them return weight for the following reasons:
1. **Simplified Benchmarking**: Writing benchmarks for hooks or calls where handlers and internal functions are utilized becomes more straightforward.
2. **Reduced Benchmarking Complexity**: By directly measuring execution and overhead in a single pass, the number of benchmarks is minimized.
3. **Enhanced Readability**: Understanding that weight accounting occurs at the outermost level improves the overall readability of the code.
One notable exception is the internal functions called in hooks like `on_idle` or `on_initialize` that can be easier to benchmark separately when the hook contains numerous branching.
