No relevance would be like when I took the GRE for grad school. I studied things that had zero relevance to the CS program I ended up attending.
Reviewing algorithms for interview prep at least has some relevance to programming. While a candidate may not use that exact algorithm in their day to day job, they are creating ad hoc algorithms all day long. With that said, I don't think time pressure, white boarding algorithms is a very good job performance predictor.
