# The `benchmark overhead` command
Each time an extrinsic or a block is executed, a fixed weight is charged as "execution overhead".
This is necessary since the weight that is calculated by the pallet benchmarks does not include this overhead.
The exact overhead to can vary per Substrate chain and needs to be calculated per chain.

The exact overhead to can vary per Substrate chain and needs to be calculated per chain.
This command calculates the exact values of these overhead weights for any Substrate chain that supports it.
## How does it work?
The benchmark consists of two parts; the [`BlockExecutionWeight`] and the [`ExtrinsicBaseWeight`].
The benchmark consists of two parts; the [`BlockExecutionWeight`] and the [`ExtrinsicBaseWeight`].
Both are executed sequentially when invoking the command.
## BlockExecutionWeight
The block execution weight is defined as the weight that it takes to execute an *empty block*.
It is measured by constructing an empty block and measuring its executing time.
The result are written to a `block_weights.rs` file which is created from a template.
The file will contain the concrete weight value and various statistics about the measurements. For example:

In this example it takes 3.5 ms to execute an empty block. That means that it always takes at least 3.5 ms to execute *any* block.
In this example it takes 3.5 ms to execute an empty block. That means that it always takes at least 3.5 ms to execute *any* block.
This constant weight is therefore added to each block to ensure that Substrate budgets enough time to execute it.
## ExtrinsicBaseWeight
The extrinsic base weight is defined as the weight that it takes to execute an *empty* extrinsic.
An *empty* extrinsic is also called a *NO-OP*. It does nothing and is the equivalent to the empty block form above.
The extrinsic base weight is defined as the weight that it takes to execute an *empty* extrinsic.
An *empty* extrinsic is also called a *NO-OP*. It does nothing and is the equivalent to the empty block form above.
The benchmark now constructs a block which is filled with only NO-OP extrinsics.
This block is then executed many times and the weights are measured.
The result is divided by the number of extrinsics in that block and the results are written to `extrinsic_weights.rs`.

👉 It is paramount to use `--profile=production`, `--execution=wasm` and `--wasm-execution=compiled` as the results are otherwise useless.
## Output Interpretation
Lower is better. The less weight the execution overhead needs, the better.
Since the weights of the overhead is charged per extrinsic and per block, a larger weight results in less extrinsics per block.
Lower is better. The less weight the execution overhead needs, the better.
Since the weights of the overhead is charged per extrinsic and per block, a larger weight results in less extrinsics per block.
Minimizing this is important to have a large transaction throughput.
