Accessing Windows (XP) performance counters preferably in VBScript

Question

I'm testing a web application for browser memory leaks using Quick Test Professional (QTP) 9.5 and Internet Explorer 6. PerfMon works for monitoring the memory usage over time, but its data has to be synchronized to the testing results to find out which steps trigger the browser memory leak. Since QTP's scripting language is VBScript, how can I get particular performance counters (in this case the "Private Bytes" in process "IExplore.exe")?
