BetterTime Class

A simple wrapper for Unity's Time that caches values to avoid the marshal overhead of each call. The performance benefit is very small, but completely free. Only readonly Time properties (except for FixedDeltaTime) are cached, but everything is wrapped anyway so you don't have to use multiple time classes. Since this is just a wrapper just refer to Unity's documentation about what each property does.
