Only if you never nest requests on a context.

If you do nest (and often with large piles of embedding host code and JS 
native methods that call into the host code, where the host code also of 
course calls the JS API to compile, call, execute, evaluate, etc., it's 
hard to tell), then you need to suspend all requests, not just the top 
one.  So in general, use suspend/resume.
