You might want to set gst_media_factory_set_shared(factory, TRUE) to not
create a new connection to your camera for each client.

You could just use gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test

Could you get a GStreamer debug log with that?

It should already scale to 100+ connections, if it doesn't you found a
bug and something that should be fixed :)
Bugs can be reported at http://bugzilla.gnome.org

Interesting to know would also be the CPU usage on the server btw.
