Great!  Now I remember that that same technique is used in Lua.
See long this version takes.

(set! *warn-on-reflection* true)

(def buffer-size 1920000)
(def array (byte-array buffer-size))

(defmacro add [m n] `(unchecked-add (int ~m) (int ~n)))
(defmacro amove[a i j] `(aset ~a ~j (aget ~a ~i)))

(defn java-like [^bytes cpu_array]
  (let [buffer-size (int buffer-size)]
    (loop [i (int 0)]
      (if (< i buffer-size)
        (let [ i2 (add i 1)
               i3 (add i 2)
               i4 (add i 3)
               a (aget cpu_array i4)
             ]
          (amove cpu_array i3 i4)
          (amove cpu_array i2 i3)
          (amove cpu_array i i2)
          (aset cpu_array i a)
          (recur (add i 4)))))))


(dotimes [_ 10]
  (time
   (dotimes [_ 1]
     (java-like array))))
