Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hi,
The vtu comes from "writer.Write()" [1] where writer is a 
vtkXMLUnstructuredGridWriter from Vtk lib.

The config parameters currently are VTKRecorder::compressor and 
VTKRecorder::ascii, based on which:
...
if(compress) writer->SetCompressor(compressor);
if(ascii) writer->SetDataModeToAscii();
...

If you know other usefull options available in vtk6 they can easily be
inserted in the source code with the same method.

Cheers

Bruno

Description changed to:
Good evening,
I was rummaging around in the vtu files and saw that the encoding is base64.xI 
cant see the advantage of base64 and it increases the file size (to my mind) 
needlesly. Is there a way to use binary vtu or vtk files for the output? Or 
alternatively, is this way (base64) faster/better/safer?
For the record I am using this command
 VTKRecorder(fileName='./vis/3d-vtk-',recorders=['spheres'],realPeriod=1),
Also, as the simulation takes veeery long, I would ideally not want to drag 
python scripts into this (at least not more than absolutely necessary :-))
Thank you very much for your time
Best Regards
John
