I suppose this implies it's the webmail client.,
So, to be sure: the webmail server is running on the same box as the one 
running Dovecot?
Si.  Yes.

but even having that
open on two different machines shouldn't open 10 connections.  Should
it?
I tended to believe that usually, a webmail application tends to open/close 
connections sequentially, or to consecutively select relevant mailboxes within 
a single connection. But who knows...
Which webmail app have you installed?
I believe that as well, especially as I don't have tons of folders
(some of my users do).  I'm using Horde.

Try imapproxy for Horde. It would keep a single connection to Dovecot open during a webmail session.

Since Horde and Dovecot are on the same server, you can configure imapproxy on a different port, e.g. 1143.
Horde -> imapproxyd (port 1143) -> Dovecot (port 143)
