The Expose might use system resources, but it doesn't effect anything. It doesn't slow down any applications (unless you have all your applications open).

You might think that it's "fundamentally flawed functionality of the aesthetics", but don't you think the developers of Mac OS X made it so it used all your ram? They optimized it and everything isn't noticeable to any other applications. I don't see how its a waste of time having all the windows infront of you rather than closing each one until you find it.

Also, if you haven't noticed in Mac OS X, if it doesn't have enough memory or power to do the effects, it won't, it will show you the final state and the state you wanted to get to.
