Depends on the warrant. If it is read with a "no bond" you will be in jail until you have met a judge to set your sentence. If it has a bond of $xxx "cash only", you have to pay that amount in cash before you can get out. If it says $xxx "cash or surety" you have to pay either the entire amount in cash, or you have the option to get a bondsman to pay the fine and you have to pay the bondsman, usually, 10% of the fine. Also, if you jump court and don't show, they will hunt you down for the money that they fronted for you. (i.e. bounty hunter).

You have left out too many relevant details to get an accurate answer here.
Generally speaking, it depends on where you live (different states/counties have different laws), what the charges are, if there is extradition involved, and if bail is set. If no bail is set, you will sit in jail until your court date, at which time, your attorney should be requesting a bail hearing. If the charges are relatively minor, and bail is set, you will sit in jail until the bail is paid. If you get arrested on a Friday, expect to sit in jail until at least Monday morning, in most places (unless you are in a metro area that has paperwork/hearings 24/7).
If you edit your question by providing more details, you'll likely get more information here.

Depends....was bail set or were you remanded? Can you make bail if it was set? Also, just because there's a warrant does not mean you'll go to jail in the first place. You may be let go on your own recognizance.

depends. If you killed someone, you may never get out. usually though, you post bail and go home. Sometimes no bail. Soemtimes you just get cut loose... It all depends on the jurisdiction and what the warrant is for. Its subjective...

It depends on the charges, if bail is allowed or if over crowding is a factor in your jailing system?

it all depends on what the warrant is for, how long before your hearing is to take place etc

Until you make bail, or pay the fine. Maybe the crime is so no bail is set.

just because you have been served a warrent does not mean you go to jail.
