It's true, they are very similar in that the state they contain is
exactly the same. However, suspended process can only be resumed once,
where a continuation can be evaluated more than once. Evaluating a
continuation boils down to creating a suspended process, replacing the
current process with it, and resuming.

I think it just boils down to memory consumption. Everything you can
do with partial continuations you can also do by composing full
continuations.
