If you superday at a BB on s Thursday, generally what should be the time it takes before they get back to you assuming things went well? I guess I'm looking for a plausible range here more than a "exactly 6 days and 30 minutes!!" type answer lol.

Could be as early as same day or as long as a month if you aren't the first choice
When I was doing SA and FT recruiting I heard back the same day from every single bank.
same/next day usually. i can be more helpful if you name the bank and type of position, lateral, SA, FT, etc.
lateral. GS.

I heard back the day-of or next morning after every superday I got an offer from, and one where I got rejected. Same story for most of my friends. When it took 3-4 weeks to hear back, I assume I was a 'backup' candidate and they were waiting to know if others accepted their offers--this happened, oddly enough, only when I interviewed with boutiques. I've never heard of BBs making people wait that long, but it could happen. I heard a story that Shitibank used to keep inviting you to the office without an offer, and it was up to you to say "I accept this offer" unprompted... tres douchey.
Funnily enough, I had a BB final round when I got a tip-off from one of my interviewers a couple hours after it ended, well before I got the official offer the next morning. HR would probably flip their shit.
That's funny, I'm sure most of you have read Liar's Poker... but that's how Lewis said Salomon Brothers operated as well.
Am I missing something here?
BBs take as long as they want.. if they don't tell you after 2 to 2.5 wks, move on
a couple of things to note 1. they are big organizations, so it takes time to get approval to hire someone. 2. they get a lot of candidates - internally, referrals from colleagues, headhunters, online applicants, on campus recruiting so they have a lot of resumes to review and interviews to conduct. 3. right now, the banks are dealing with preparing for intern classes and incoming first year analysts/associates, so HR/groups are jammed with that. also they essentially have guilt-free labor from the interns so the groups can pile on work. 4. bonuses will get paid out in the next 8-10 weeks, so they also want to see who's going to leave and who's going to stay.
