With qtp you can just measure the transaction time for a business scenario using Start and End transaction.

To go deep into load testing, you need to use other load testing tools like HP LoadRunner, QALoad etc

You can do load testing using QTP and Loadrunner controller.QTP scripts runs on controller .But there u have to get terminal licenses for each machine .
It does not spawn threads like Loadrunner but creates real session on the load generator machines

Generally QTP is not used for load testing, though it is possible to measure transaction time for a business scenario using Start and End transaction.You can execute QTP scripts which would in-turn be a part of the load testing.But to go deep into load testing, you need to use other load testing tools like HP LoadRunner.

Of course write a script in QTP for say logging into a website and run that script via loadrunner.
But firstly, the time will not be exact as QTP will add its own time (for execution) to the response time.
Secondly you will be able to simulate only one user per machine, while as Load runner simulates hundreds of users at a time.
