The first saves using the "Legacy VTK" (.vtk) format.  The second saves 
using the newer XML format (*.vtp).

See http://www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf for more information.

I don't see much performance difference between the binary .vtk format 
and the appended .vtp format.  Use the legacy format if you need 
backwards compatibility with old programs.
