I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users.

Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier?

I'd say this depends on the webmail you're using. I used to go without imapproxy while i used Hastymail2. After switching to Roundcube at first the webmail was extremly slow, imapproxy helped for my use case (personal server, 8 users). I think roundcube is opening and closing the imap connection for every action but i still haven't looked into this.

Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does?

I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and improve performance. Are there any performance tweaks I should consider for dovecot?

Check the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org for tuning tipps.
