HF Interview hear back timeline

I had a hf final round interview with the fund owner. I was sick, super tired and nervous, therefore just did a ok interview (maybe worse than that). However, I provided my research portfolio (not very related, pure equity alpha and systematic portfolio strategies research). I can tell he was kind of interested in my research. After 2 days (interview on Wed), I haven't heard back from them. I am so frustrated...

How long do we usually hear back from the interview? I don't think there are too many candidates. Also I know that they need someone soon.

Thanks!
