NM, huge difference in performance even with the cast.

Old version:

(time (dotimes [_ 1000] (byte-array-contains? header 0xFE)))
"Elapsed time: 337.312 msecs"

New version:

(time (dotimes [_ 1000] (byte-array-contains? header 0xFE)))
"Elapsed time: 4.278 msecs"

On that note, is there a native way to check whether a byte array
contains a given value? The contains? function seems to indicate
whether a given index exists in the array rather than inspecting the
actual value? My best stab at the moment is as follows:

(defn byte-array-contains? [coll key]
  "scans a byte array for a given value"
  (loop [i 0]
    (if (< i (count coll))
      (if (== (int (byte key)) (int (byte (aget coll i))))
        true
        (recur (inc i))))))
