To me it was a bunch of rote memorization, just like a biology course. I never - never - have needed to know how bubblesort/heapsort/mergesort actually work, except to appease interviewers.
I'm not saying I'm pro writing-inefficient-code, but if you want to talk big-O during an interview, I"m going to roll my eyes about as much as you asking me who the 19th president was.

I ask such questions at the end of an interview, but mostly to see the sanity/reaction or thinking process - wrong answer would do, rolling eyes - would not :)
