No, IDS 9.x is the ORDBMS. This autumn the 7.3 and 9.x code lines will
be merged into one so from IDS 9.2 the ORDBMS functionality will be a
true option to the server.

The new features and functionality of 7.3 is best described here:
http://www.informix.com/de/produkte/ids/ids73.html

This is in german, so it may be a problem. You may understand a few
key points even if you don't read german.
I don't know know of any other good description of the new things.
At the Informix site there is some information in:
http://www.informix.com/informix/press/1998/ids73.htm
At http://www.informix.com/answers there is also a technical overview
of the new features in the Guide to SQL: Syntax manual for IDS 7.3 and
in some other manuals.

(Now with ODBC info under "Third party products".)

I don't know the differences in detail but you could check the following
pages, where IDS 7.3 is described (of course, no cons, only pros ;-):
