We present an improved algorithm for the computation of Zariski chambers on algebraic surfaces. The new algorithm significantly outperforms the currently available method and therefore allows us to treat surfaces of high Picard number, where huge numbers of chambers occur. As an application, we efficiently compute the number of chambers supported by the lines on the Segre–Schur quartic.
