You can do this by changing your code from:

  VisADForm().save(filename,fselect,1)

to:

  VisADForm(1).save(filename,fselect,1)

(I think that's the way to pass 'true' to the constructor ... I'm
still learning this Jython stuff)

This will use VisAD's own binary format, rather than Java's
serialization.  The VisAD-specific binary file classes are
slower than Java's serialization code, but are guaranteed to
be backward compatible even if the file format changes in the
future.
